Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/02/2015 -- Convenience and health and wellness are the main drivers of growth in breakfast cereals. While breakfast cereals are traditionally associated with breakfast, increasing purchasing power, combined with more hectic lifestyle leading consumers to look for more convenient food and snack options, are contributing to the increase of breakfast cereals. On the other hand, there is some pressure to reduce the sugar content of some RTE cereals and especially their sodium content. The reduction of sodium is being pushed by the Ministry of Health and ABIA (The Brazilian Food Industry Association), which announced at the beginning of 2013 the goal to reduce the quantity of sodium to 418mg per 100g of product. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the ideal quantity of sodium for adults is 5g per day, while, in Brazil, average consumption is 12g a day.

Competitive Landscape

In 2014, Nestle Brasil Ltda and Kellogg Brasil & Cia are the leading players in breakfast cereals, the former with a 24% retail value share and the latter holding 23%.

Corn Flakes and Mo?a Flakes, with a combined 30% value share, and Kellogg leading children?s breakfast cereals with Kellogg?s Sucrilhos taking a 45% value share. The driver of growth for both companies is diversification in terms of flavours and formats. This is illustrated by the introduction of Nestl? Duo, part of the Nescau line, with dark and whitechocolate flavours combined, and Sucrilhos Power in the format of balls and in three different packages (a box of 240g and flowpacks (flexible packaging) of 75g and 20g) aiming to cover different consumer occasions. Both companies also focus on health and wellness with NesFit and Kellness ranges providing, for instance, added-value products targeted mostly towards women and those consumers willing to have a healthier diet and, consequently, a better lifestyle.
