Based on the brand landscape report using the retail store panel and the consumer panel, let’s have a look at the most remarkable trend.

Oatmeal market

289% year-on-year
– You can understand that the popularity of oatmeal has grown drastically in the last 1-2 years.

How about the stores where you can buy "Oatmeal" (category-level store count distribution)?

Store count distribution rate of the brands ranked in second place and lower has been increasing.

In previous year, there were only two brands which have 5% or more of store count distribution rate. Currently, the number has been increased to 5 brands, and it means the choices for consumers are steadily increasing as well.

On the other hand, looking at the category total, it remains flat although there is an increase / decrease due to seasonality.
Whether or not the number of "oatmeal dealers" will increase is likely to be the key to expanding the category in the future.

So, who buys and supports Oatmeal?
