Abstract

With growing international interest in healthy eating, the market for nutritious snacks is on the increase across the world. Cereal bars have emerged as an important alternative to traditional sweet snacks, such as chocolate countlines, cakes and biscuits, while, in the bagged snacks market, products based on rice or other cereals are making an impression as a healthier alternative to high-fat crisps and extruded snacks.

The International Market for Cereal Snacks assesses trends and developments in the international market for cereal snacks. It looks at two key categories:
  • Cereal bars, and
  • Rice snacks
In addition the report also highlights developments in new cereal snack categories, such as cereal bites, which are starting to emerge as the market matures.

LFI reports that total sales of cereal snacks in the eight countries under review (the US, Japan, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK) were worth US$3.37bn in 2005. Cereal bars is much the larger of the two core cereal snacks categories, worth US$2.37bn in 2005, equivalent to 70% of the total cereal snacks market.

Cereal bars markets around the world are generally led by companies with existing interests either in breakfast cereals, or confectionery or other baked snacks (e.g. biscuits or cakes). Although the sector also supports a multitude of specialist health and natural food suppliers, the products sold through mainstream supermarkets tend primarily to be those manufactured by major food groups. The support of such significant businesses and their sizeable advertising and promotional budgets has been instrumental in creating the strong growth rates seen by the market.

The rice snacks market, on the other hand, is contested by a fairly diverse range of businesses, including a global cereals business, various Asian rice cracker companies, a biscuit market leader in the UK and a rice market leader in Germany.
