Expert's Answer

The Woolsworth Group is planning for vertical integration and requires a detailed macro analysis and consumer behaviour to assess the cereal industry. The Industry for breakfast cereals consists of two groups, hot cereals which comprise of porridge, oats, mixes, etc. and ready-to-eat cereals which comprise of flakes and more. The ready to eat segment in the year 2018 had 87.4% market as compared to the 12.6% of hot cereals in Australia, the primary focus of companies is ready to eat cereals (MarketLine, 2019). Globally the breakfast cereal industry is growing at a constant number of 4.1% and forecasted to grow by 3% in the future (Barnes, 2020). However, this analysis will be based geographically for Australia.
