Insight Survey’s latest South African Breakfast Cereals Industry Landscape Report 2017 provides a dynamic synthesis of industry research, examining the local and global Breakfast Cereals industry from a uniquely holistic perspective, with detailed insights into the entire South African value chain.
Globally, the breakfast cereals market was valued at approximately US$43 billion in 2016 and is set to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% to reach an estimated US$55 billion by 2022. The US and Europe currently represent the largest markets worldwide, but developing regions such as Latin America is the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 7.9% by 2024. Kellogg’s is the global market leader in the breakfast cereals market, with General Mills and PepsiCo the other key players.
How are South African consumers viewing breakfast cereals? Are we also embracing trends in this market in order to ensure continued popularity and growth?
South Africa’s breakfast cereal consumers were expected to increase by a compound annual growth rate of 1.8% to 18.5 million purchasers in 2020.
There are a number of trends and drivers that could help further stimulate this market in the near future: a major trend is the increasing focus of South African consumers on healthy living. Low carb, low sodium, gluten-free or grain-free breakfast cereal options are proving popular among the health-conscious, along with banting-friendly products and porridges that are high in protein and omega-3.
Interestingly, in line with international trends, so-called cereal cafés have started trading in South Africa e.g. Cereal Killers in Durban. Additional factors that could drive this market forward include continued consumer preference for convenience (which has led to easy-to-use products such as breakfast biscuits being launched), product and packaging innovation (such as FUTURELIFE’s Smart Fibre 2-in-1), and government legislation (e.g. regarding salt and sugar content) which is forcing manufacturers to rethink their food compositions.
As with any industry, however, multiple restraints exist in our country that could negatively affect breakfast cereals market growth. The World Bank recently slashed South Africa’s economic growth outlook for this year from 1.1% (as forecast earlier in the year) down to 0.6%. SA’s low economic growth, decreasing disposable incomes and higher food inflation are impacting consumer spending and shopping patterns, for example, shifting consumers to purchase smaller pack sizes or move from well-known brands to ‘house brands’. Furthermore, existing mistrust regarding certain breakfast cereals’ sugar and salt content, as well as GM levels, could keep consumers from purchasing breakfast cereals and consider alternative breakfast and/or snacking options.
