Global Porridges Market to Reach USD 1,173 Million by 2035, Fueled by Demand for Nutritious and Convenient Breakfast Options

The global Porridges Market is poised for steady expansion, with projections indicating it will reach USD 687.7 million by 2025 and grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2035, ultimately attaining a value of approximately USD 1,173 million by 2035. This growth trajectory is underpinned by evolving dietary habits, the rising popularity of wholesome breakfast options, and increasing awareness of the health benefits associated with porridge consumption.

Porridge, commonly made by heating oats and adding water or milk, is a staple breakfast food in many cultures. While the terms porridge and oatmeal are often used interchangeably, porridge encompasses a broader category of grain-based hot cereals. Valued for its nutritional content, porridge is rich in dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates, which help control appetite, support brain function, and manage cholesterol and blood sugar levels. As health-conscious consumers turn toward balanced and satiating meals, the porridge market is witnessing a surge in demand.
