Download SampleOne of the major constraints to the breakfast cereal market in the UK can be rules and regulations imposed by the government due to the growing concern over the intake of sugar among children, which can lead to various chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiac-related issues, obesity, and more. Therefore, the government has identified certain products as "high in saturated fats, sugar, or salt" (HFSS) or "less healthy food products" in order to reduce the probability of disease in children. HFSS has also advised the manufacturers of these products to reduce the amount of fat, sugar, and salt in their respective products. This has affected the market as now manufacturers have to think about the production of cereals and the amount of content in them. Recently, in October, the government announced that HFSS products would not be allowed to be available at key locations like hypermarkets, supermarkets, shops, etc. Its promotion on television is also limited. Due to this, it has affected the ready-to-eat segment, especially in granola, as it contains more sugar. Due to this, the government has forced manufacturers to commit to helping consumers eat more fiber and whole grains, reduce sugar, and maintain lower levels of salt. They have also pledged to advertise responsibly and make it easier for consumers to understand the nutritional content of their products. Already, over the last two decades, cereal manufacturers in the United Kingdom have reduced added salt by 63.5 percent. Based on distribution channels, the supermarket/hypermarket segment presently holds a major share in the UK breakfast Cereal market due to the high dependency of consumers on the aforementioned distribution for grocery shopping and the increasing number of supermarkets across the city. Some of the well-known supermarkets are Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Co-op Food, Waitrose, Morrison’s, and ASDA. Tesco, the UK’s largest supermarket chain, has around 4,000 stores. The E-Commerce segment is projected to expand at a remarkable CAGR over the forecast period, which can be attributed to increasing internet penetration rates across UK. E-commerce platforms offer a wide range of products to their consumers at attractive discounts, and they provide multiple payment options such as net banking, debit cards, and credit cards, which are some of the important factors augmenting the segment's growth.
