Owing to the increasing consumption of functional foods and meal replacements, the North American breakfast cereal market is expected to be the largest during the upcoming timeframe. Vendors across the region attract new customers to expand their footprints in emerging markets by providing innovative products. This is likely to drive the market's growth at a notable CAGR during the forecast period. For instance, in 2020, Freshly Inc., the meal delivery service acquired by Nestle SA, launched a new product line for consumers to match their health and active lifestyles. Freshly Fit ready-to-eat meals are inspired by keto, paleo, and plant-based diet principles. The offerings include gluten-free, clean-label, and whole-food ingredients.
On the other hand, the food and shopping habits of Europeans are evolving. As the population ages, many customers are becoming more worried about their health and nutrition, which is causing them to turn to ready-to-eat cereal instead of hearty eggs-and-meat breakfasts. A growing number of working women value the convenience as well. As they travel more, Europeans are acquiring more global tastes. Cereal sales are being boosted by two other significant shifts in Europe. All around Europe, supermarkets with their endless rows of shelves and vibrant point-of-purchase displays are mushrooming. Additionally, there is an increase in new commercial television channels where cereal producers can air advertisements.

Across the South America region, breakfast cereals are increasingly gaining acceptance among consumers, especially those in the upper and middle-upper income segments.

In addition, manufacturers have been actively launching a wide variety of cereal products to cater to the demands of their young consumers. Latest findings have revealed that chocolate-based cereals are very popular, especially in Brazil.
Further, growth is being driven by innovation in the health and wellness arena, with brands competing to deliver healthier, fortified, and natural breakfast cereals.
