Rising Demand For Ready-To-Cook Breakfast Cereals
The ready-to-cook market that includes products such as muesli, granola, and other hot cereal products is growing rapidly. Hot cereals include products like oats, oat bran, wheat bran, and porridge. Among hot cereals, oats have gained high acceptance and popularity, owing to the rising consumers' awareness of the consumption of health benefits of grains.

Also, the leading companies are trying to blend organic and healthy ingredients in order to boost the sales of breakfast cereals. In addition, the manufacturers are also utilizing traditionally grown cereal grains such as quinoa to create innovation in breakfast cereal products. For instance, Continental Food's brand, Erasco, offers a wide range of ready to cook products including Baked Beans, Balkan rice, Cabbage Rolls, and others.
France to Witness Significant Growth in the Region
France is witnessed to have the fastest-growing market for breakfast cereals in Europe. Growing health concerns and increasing health issues such as diabetes, obesity, and digestive disorders are supplementing the growth of this region. Moreover, product & packaging innovations coupled with a high adoption rate of new products in countries in the region are estimated to play a key role in increasing the demand for the product over the forecast period. Quinoa Crack is one such company that has gained higher sales growth in France by offering quinoa-based gluten-free, super snacking solutions.
