These products are available in various varieties and forms, such as microwave meals, takeaway meals, instant pot noodles, and other types of meals, which has increased food availability in the UK. The rise in consumption of ready-to-eat food has led consumers to purchase more ready-to-eat meals in the region.

In 2021, North America held the key share of the global breakfast cereals market. However, Asia Pacific is estimated to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period. The market in Asia Pacific is segmented into China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. APAC countries, such as South Korea, China, and Japan, are among the major food and beverage markets. The region is also home to numerous breakfast cereals manufacturers, which are growing due to increased domestic demand for packaged beverages.
