Global Breakfast Cereal Ingredients Market- Impact of COVID-19
The pandemic led to disruptions in global supply chains due to lockdown measures, travel restrictions, and temporary closures of manufacturing facilities. This could have affected the availability and distribution of breakfast cereal ingredients, leading to potential shortages or delays in the delivery of raw materials. During the pandemic, consumer behavior changed significantly, including shifts in breakfast consumption patterns. With people spending more time at home, the demand for breakfast cereals and related ingredients might have initially increased as consumers stocked up on essential food items. However, as the pandemic progressed and economic uncertainties arose, consumer spending patterns may have changed, impacting the demand for breakfast cereal ingredients.
As individuals were confined to their homes, they had more time to experiment with cooking and explore alternative breakfast options. This could have led to a decline in the demand for traditional breakfast cereals and subsequently impacted the demand for specific cereal ingredients. The foodservice sector, including hotels, restaurants, and cafes, faced significant challenges during the pandemic due to closures and restrictions. As a result, the demand for breakfast cereals and related ingredients from this sector might have decreased, impacting overall market demand.
