Porridge is derived from heating oatmeal, followed by addition of water or milk and is mainly consumed for breakfast. However, the terms porridge and oatmeal are generally used interchangeably. Consumption of porridge is beneficial as it is highly nutritious and contains dieting fibers, thus providing a wholesome meal and preventing the consumer from overeating. This in turn prevents weight gain, reduces the risk of high cholesterol, and also controls the blood sugar level. High carbohydrate content in porridge leads to better functioning of the brain.

In addition, inclination of consumers towards a wholesome breakfast consisting of ready-to-eat food items and surge in demand for hot cereal products supplement the market growth.
