Abstract

Spain- a declining birth rate and ageing population is giving suppliers many opportunities in Spain. Healthy eating and snacking trends combined with the growth in popularity of organic foods has changed the face of this sector. Where do most Spanish consumers buy their cereal from? Have discounters had a similar impact in Spain as they have across Germany?

UK- the declining number of children has a major impact on this market and the traditional breakfast cereal market will diminish. But where are the areas of growth for your business? Single person households and an increased number of over 55s are favourable emerging trends. What impact will the functional health trends have upon the market? How have the major suppliers fared against the growing popularity of own-brand cereals?
