Hence, manufacturers have been actively rolling out products with such functional qualities and properties which allow people to feel and look healthy. For example, a breakfast cookie's nutritional value is inclined towards providing the necessary output from different meals. A cookie’s protein value of 10 grams is equivalent to two cups of dal. Four grams of fiber in a cookie is equivalent to one apple’s fiber value. Three hundred milligram of calcium is provided in a single cookie-which is equivalent to a glass of milk. Additionally, certain cookies have allowed for a blend of nutrition such as nuts, fruits, vegan, or non-vegan milk cubes. The label claims have gotten incredibly important, and manufacturers are portraying that they would provide offerings without any preservatives and will be GMO-free. Moreover, manufacturers are now not only focusing to place it as a breakfast cookie but for everyday indulgent meals. “List of the ingredients” and “substances or product causing allergies” were rated as “very important” in a brand survey. Additionally, the survey also indicated that 35% of the consumers are extremely cautious about the nutritional value. Owing to such reasons, the market is rightly driven.

The rising urban population with a growing working class has been a key driver for the market

The urban population has been growing, and as per a recent report around 55% of the current global population is now living in cities or developed parts of the world.

Additionally, the working class has been growing and as per the report of the US Government, the unemployment rates have been declining since the pandemic started, which is a sign that the world has started to live with the virus. Furthermore, various multinational offices are recalling their employees back in the office, which would allow the sales of such breakfast biscuits. Moreover, breakfast biscuits are now positioned in office vending machines, which propels the worker to adapt to healthy snacking. A survey from UK revealed that around a quarter of adults (working population) skip their breakfast each day or have it less than two times a day. Additionally, around 15% of the adults claim they simply don’t have time to sit down for the meal of a day. US Department of Agricultural Dietary Guideline now focuses on providing potassium-calcium-fiber-vitamin D as “essential” and missing these essential offerings can result in the negative cognitive development of children. Owing to such reasons, the market is expected to provide robust opportunities.

Global Breakfast Biscuit Market Challenges
