Health-Conscious Lifestyles Fuel Market Demand
With rising awareness about the health risks associated with processed and high-sugar foods, consumers are increasingly turning towards whole grains, including oats, as part of their daily diets. Oatmeal, rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, has become a popular choice for breakfast and snacks, thanks to its role in heart health, weight management, and blood sugar control.
Renub Research points out that growing incidences of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are driving consumers toward nutrient-dense foods like oatmeal.
Convenience and Versatility Make Oatmeal a Consumer Favorite
The modern consumer seeks food options that offer both convenience and nutrition. Oatmeal ticks these boxes with its quick preparation time, adaptability to various flavors, and compatibility with other superfoods such as berries, nuts, seeds, and plant-based milks.
Renub Research highlights the growth of instant oats and ready-to-eat oatmeal products, especially in urban regions, where busy lifestyles demand quick meal solutions without compromising health.
