The latest insights into the cereal bar market indicate a valuation of US$ 14.51 billion by 2024. Driven by rising health awareness and a demand for innovative flavors, cereal bar consumption is on the rise. Projections suggest that sales could surpass US$ 22.64 billion by 2034, reflecting a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.60% over the forecast period.

Plant-based products are both healthier and safer than animal-based products. The cereal bars market is being driven by growing popularity of veganism and health consciousness among consumers around the world. Besides, various dietary requirements such as low or no sugar content, low cholesterol levels, and low salt content of consumers can be easily met by cereal bars, thereby pushing sales.

Cereal bars are linked to weight gain and weight loss. A new study, which was published in the International Journal of Obesity, followed a group of overweight adults for 16 weeks. Participants who ate two cereal bars per day lost an average of 5% of their body weight, while those who did not eat cereal bars gained an average of 1%, which has led to growing consumer preference for these bars. These factors are projected to accelerate the cereal bars market in the next decade.

As they are compact and easy to transport, cereal bars are a great option for busy people on-the-go. To keep up with the changing cereal bars market trends, manufacturers are developing novel ways to incorporate their product into various processed foods.
