Read the full report Breakfast Cereals in the US

While cold cereal struggles to retain engagement, hot cereal benefits from stronger alignment with health-led trends. Cultural shifts such as altered morning routines and fewer households with children are enhanced by increased competition from around the grocery store and foodservice providers that offer protein-based, on-the-go alternatives. There is a bright spot: influential Generation Z and Millennials are reengaging, perhaps in unconventional ways, as breakfast cereal brands refresh by expanding cereal into snacking and solo-eating moments that embrace both indulgence and function.
