    Analyst Opinion

    The Bread & Cereal Products Market in Pakistan has been experiencing slow growth due to factors such as low consumer awareness, limited access to digital technologies, and a preference for traditional food options. This minimal growth rate can also be attributed to the lack of innovation and limited market competition. However, with the increasing health consciousness among consumers and the convenience offered by online food services, the market is expected to witness a gradual growth in the coming years.

    Customer preferences:
    As the trend towards healthy living continues to grow in Pakistan, there has been a rise in demand for whole grain and organic bread and cereal products. Consumers are increasingly opting for these options due to their perceived health benefits. Additionally, with the increase in health-consciousness, there has been a shift towards gluten-free and low-carb options in the bread and cereal market, catering to the diverse dietary needs and preferences of the population. This trend is likely to continue as consumers become more aware of the impact of their food choices on their overall well-being.
