Drivers & Restraints-

Market Growth is Driven by Rising Demand for Convenience Food and On-The-Go Snacks

The rising popularity of convenience foods, on-the-go snacking, and ready-to-eat meals is fueling the expansion of the breakfast cereal market in Iran. Consumers desire for on-the-go items that deliver rapid nutrition and a sense of fullness in a busy schedule is mostly driven by modern-day stressed and chaotic lifestyles. Cereals are becoming a popular breakfast choice due to their quick preparation time and satisfying taste. Breakfast cereal demand is projected to be driven by the country’s tendency of westernization. However, the rising demand for whole grain and organic products puts the breakfast cereal business at risk of price variations in cereal grains, which may eventually impede the Iran breakfast cereals market growth.

According to the IFIC’s food and health survey, consumers buying food products for good health effects grew to 60% in 2020, up from 55% in 2015. The graphical representation depicts a favorable shift in healthy food purchasing patterns due to an increased understanding of the impact of food consumption on overall health and wellness. Consumer demand for healthier foods to maintain overall health and lower the risk of certain lifestyle-related chronic health disorders is also propelling the market. Iran is predicted to have the second-highest per capita disposable income in the Middle East, after the UAE, according to industry sources. Consumers can now spend more on healthy products to maintain and improve their health due to increased per capita income levels. In the food aisles, shoppers continue to seek healthier alternatives. Micronutrient-fortified foods, such as vitamins and minerals, are gaining popularity as a way to combat micronutrient shortages and promote general health.

Competitive Landscape-

Partnership with Relevant Stakeholders to Gain Market Dominance

Imports from global companies such as Kellogg’s Company and Nestle S.A. dominate the Iran breakfast cereals market share. Kellogg’s Company and Nestle S.A. control roughly 65–75% of the breakfast cereal market in Iran. Kellogg’s is the market leader in Iran, according to our early discussions with industry experts, with a market share of 50–54%.
