The Middle East and Africa breakfast cereals market is expected to grow from US$ 6,115.32 million in 2022 to US$ 8,127.50 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2022 to 2028.
The market growth in this region is attributed to the rising consumption of low-sugar breakfast cereals and increased knowledge of the health benefits of such breakfast cereals. Cereal manufacturers are developing products with greater nutritional value by adding ingredients such as dried fruits with no added sugar. Ready-to-eat cold cereals containing dried fruits can be chosen as a healthier breakfast option by health-conscious and time-pressed consumers. Moreover, such cereals can be sweetened using sweeteners such as honey, dried fruit, or coconut sugar. Many businesses are concentrating on new ways to combine sugar and sweetening chemicals, often known as flavor modulators, to retain customer taste expectations and product functionality while decreasing sugar consumption. Some products have been improved by lowering their sugar content. Aldi’s Harvest Morn Crunchy Honey Nut Corn Flakes comes with 19% lower sugar content, which was reduced from 34.4 g to 28.0 g per 100 g; moreover, Honey Monster Puffs (previously Sugar Puffs) are offered with a 17% reduction in sugar, from 35.0 g to 29.0 g per 100 g. Further, there have been notable achievements among food manufacturers in reducing salt content. For example, Lidl’s Crown field Corn Flakes come with 60% lower salt content (1.02 g per 100 g), and Simply M&S Cornflakes are offered with 36% low salt content (0.45 g per 100 g).
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Middle East and Africa Breakfast Cereals market growth at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
