North America Breakfast Cereal Market Outlook

  • In 2020, nearly 283 million Americans consumed boxed cereals.
  • 9% of American consumers prefer to have plant-based milk (such as soy or almond) with their cereals. 
  • Manufacturing and distributing cereals within the budget of each consumer is expected to remain organisations’ key priority.

 

North America Breakfast Cereal Market Growth

Nearly 70% of American households consume cereal. More than 50% consume it weekly, while the rising health consciousness is prompting 12% of households to consume it daily. Despite the rising inflation rates, cereal has remained an important breakfast meal for Americans, with 67% of Gen Zs in the USA consuming cereal at least weekly. Cow or dairy milk is the most preferred method for cereal consumption in the United States, with merely 3% of consumers preferring to have it with yoghurt. Nearly 45% of the generation of baby boomers in the country prefers to have cereal at least weekly.

 

Cereals’ flavour and price play a key role in influencing American consumers’ purchase decisions. Kashi and Kellog’s Special K cereals enjoy a high degree of popularity among people. Moreover, with rising awareness about the importance of optimal health, over one-third of the American population is seeking healthy breakfast options with high fibre and low sugar content. This is prompting market players to introduce keto-friendly and gluten-free cereals into the market.

 

Consumers earning over $150K+ are expected to become the key audience for such cereals since they prioritise brand and quality over cereals’ price. The demand for healthy cereals is also expected to witness a significant surge amongst the Gen Z population over the forecast period.
