Art Direction: Shiho Sugita / Design: Shiho Sugita
Overview
Cereal sales have dropped by 30%, with Kellogg’s experiencing a 10% decrease in recent weeks. Reasons include time constraints, competition from alternatives like yogurt, and concerns about sugar content. Consumers seek protein-rich breakfast options for greater satisfaction, reflecting a broader trend away from traditional cereal consumption.
