Therefore, this has resulted in leveraging the business of ready-to-eat food products owing to the increasing understanding of perception among consumers in devouring traditional breakfast meals throughout the day, thus considering RTE foods as the closest alternative to regular food. This segment is growing at a fast pace due to the high consumer acceptance for such breakfast food globally. Also, innovative products in functional ingredients, convenience, and organic foods and advancement in areas of packaging technology are expected to provide a future growth opportunity in the sector.

Domination of Breakfast Food Products in North America
The North American market holds the majority of the share in the global breakfast food market demand, followed by Europe. The excess production capacity, changing consumer preferences across the spectrum of shopping habits, purchase behavior, and consumption patterns drive the market growth in the region. However, an opportunity exists for a brand to take over the breakfast market through consumer engagement, as demonstrated in recent years by PepsiCo, with Frito-Lay engagement programs in snacks and creative foodservice partnerships.
The manufacturers are also focusing on the health and wellness trend in North American, targeting young consumers and the working population. The changing lifestyle of consumers involving the consumption of smaller meals is further leading to the increased consumption of breakfast food, which is expected to propel the demand for products, such as snack bars, cereals, and others, in the region.

Competitive Landscape
The breakfast food market is entirely focused on business to consumers, where some of the major players in the market included are The Kellogg Company, General Mills Inc., Nestle SA, and The Kraft Heinz Company, among others. Leading manufacturers in the market are focusing on leveraging opportunities posed by emerging markets of Asia-Pacific, to expand their revenue base.
