Factors such as increasing health consciousness and changing dietary trends are impacting the market's growth rate. Online sales and convenient packaging are also contributing to the growth, particularly in the Breakfast Cereals and Other Cereal Products sub-markets. However, the overall market is facing challenges due to the presence of substitutes and the high cost of production.

This has led to the rise of gluten-free, organic, and whole grain options in the market. Additionally, with the increasing popularity of plant-based diets and sustainability concerns, there has been a shift towards plant-based bread and cereal products, catering to the growing demand for environmentally-friendly and ethical food choices.

Trends in the market:
In Australia, the Bread & Cereal Products market is experiencing a surge in demand for gluten-free and organic options, driven by increasing health consciousness and dietary restrictions. Additionally, there is a growing trend of incorporating ancient grains like quinoa and millet into bread and cereal products, catering to the demand for exotic and healthier options. These trends are expected to continue and reshape the market, presenting opportunities for industry players to diversify their product offerings and target a wider consumer base.
