Breakfast is a huge market with 22 billion breakfast occasions each year and after years of decline, its started to grow again, with, as a result of the Covid lockdown, at-home breakfasts growing by +7.9% YoY* and currently representing 89% of all breakfast occasions. There has also been a resurgence in the demand for traditional cooked breakfasts, as well as, paradoxically a major growth in healthy breakfasts.
Breakfast remains the largest meal occasion in the UK, accounting for 27% of all food & drink consumed at home, or carried out and is worth around £2.5 billion*.
