Breakfast cereals are not considered a necessary item. Other breakfast meals such as cakes, bread or pastries are considered relatively cheaper to the cereals by the consumers as they had become price conscious. In response to this, some of the companies offered discounts in order to make sales. Therefore, there had been a tendency in the consumers to buy breakfast cereals only when they can get it at a discounted price. In addition, the primary focus of breakfast cereals is on children who have a weak purchasing power. This limits the growth rate of the industry.
