Market Overview
The global oats market is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.80% during the forecast period, 2022 – 2027.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the oats market. The sudden shift in day-to-day lifestyle, morning routines coupled with the stay-at-home situation led by strict lockdowns boosted the cooking-at-home instances. While consumers increasingly opted for convenient, easy-to-cook food products, “health” remained one of the most sought-after attributes, prior to their purchase. As a result, the demand for healthier breakfast options including oatmeals bolstered, since March 2020. Moreover, the stockpiling trend further catalyzed the product demand primarily during the second quarter of 2020.
The changing lifestyle of consumers, including the decision to opt for light and healthy meals, is driving the demand for oats. The high nutritive content of oats is the major driver of the market. Additionally, an increase in preference for healthy meals and demand for convenience food is also driving the Asia oats market.
Also, its added functional properties enhance its usage by the consumers, and it is witnessed to be consumed majorly as a breakfast food. Moreover, the working population's fast-paced lifestyle has catalyzed the demand for oats as breakfast cereals.

Key Market Trends
Flavoured Oats to Outpace the Market Demand
Flavored oats both savory and sweet have received a positive response from consumers, driving the value sales of the market studied. Oats naturally being bland in flavor leaves a lot of scope for consumers to experiment with the recipes. However, now with the proliferation of flavored oat products, manufacturers are trying to capture a large segment of consumers that are on the constant lookout for taste in health-oriented products. Moreover, companies are trying to reposition cereals as a snack or dessert instead of strictly marketing them for breakfast meals, in order to zone in more consumers. For instance, Post Holdings through its Dream Cereal range offers oat-based cereal integrated with OREO cookie taste. Thus, the incorporation of exotic flavors into the product variants is emerging as a safe bet for manufacturers in the industry.

North America Holds the Major Market Share
North America accounts for the major market share followed by Europe. An increase in demand for convenience food coupled with rising obesity and diabetes cases in the region has led to an increase in demand for healthier breakfast options such as oats. Moreover, oatmeal being one of the most prominent weight-loss food gains an edge among other breakfast cereal products. Additionally, the rich fiber content in oats known as beta-glucans helps lower blood sugar levels and thus makes an excellent choice among diabetic patients. In 2021, North America remained the second most diabetes prevalent region in the world. About 12% of adults (20-79 years) dealt with diabetes.
The rising population of health-conscious consumers in the countries of the regions is influencing the high growth of oats markets. Moreover, increasing imports as well production of oats especially in the United States is another factor helping the growth of the oats market in the North American region.
