Breakfast cereals in
Country Report
Executive Summary
Nov 2018PROSPECTS
Breakfast cereals increasingly consumed throughout the day
Breakfast cereals are no longer only consumed for breakfast, with consumers increasingly eating products in this area during the day and as snacks. High versatility makes breakfast cereals ideal snacks, with manufacturers promoting muesli and granola not only for meals but also for direct consumption as snacks.
High unit price hikes curbed due to GST
All breakfast cereals are unified and fall under tariff item classification number 1904 of the Goods and Services (GST) regime, with the new fixed levy of 18% being below the previous 26%. This new lower tax rate boosted value sales during 2018 since many breakfast cereals manufacturers have passed on benefits to consumers by reducing the annual hike in unit prices.
Traditional breakfast cereals face intense competition from oat-based cereals
Consumers are gradually moving towards hot cereals, muesli and granola from flakes as they have started to realize the health benefits of the former. Consequently, retail value growth within flakes was lower than for other breakfast cereals during 2018.
