The Industry for breakfast cereals consists of two groups, hot cereals which comprise of porridge, oats, mixes, etc. and ready-to-eat cereals which comprise of flakes and more. The ready to eat segment in the year 2018 had 87.4% market as compared to the 12.6% of hot cereals in Australia, the primary focus of companies is ready to eat cereals (MarketLine, 2019). Globally the breakfast cereal industry is growing at a constant number of 4.1% and forecasted to grow by 3% in the future (Barnes, 2020).
