Table 1. Based on the Top 10 Best Oatmeal in the Philippines 2021


Competitive Edge of Del Monte Pacific Limited

The table above shows the top 10 best oatmeal in the country as of the year 2021, and it

shows that Del Monte's Fruit and Oats are not on the list. The list proves that Del Monte has

heavy competitors like Quaker Oats and Bob's Red Mill, as they are well-known and the longest-

running brands in the oatmeal market. The list also presents that most of the oatmeal in the list

are natural and organic, unlike Del Monte's Fruit and Oats, which has various flavors of fruits

that are enjoyable to eat. Yet, in this period, where we are still in the middle of a pandemic, the

preference of the consumers are changing into a healthier lifestyle. Del Monte's Oats and Fruits'

competitive edge in the oatmeal market serves a healthy lifestyle and a satisfying snack, which

fits the preference of most consumers nowadays. In these upcoming years, Del Monte can

penetrate and make its way on the list of top 10 oatmeal in the country.

The global market for oatmeal is vast growing as health is being a trend, especially in the

current situation of the world. An article published by Technavio research shows the top 5

oatmeal market vendors. In the years 2017 to 2021, the increase in demand for organic cereals is

becoming a trend due to its market driver of people shifting towards healthy food. With this, the

demand for ready-to-cook food increases. The competitive landscape for oatmeal includes the

consumers' preference on the product’s flavor, ingredients, price, packaging, and other aspects.

Additionally, though it is easy to enter this kind of market, company brands should be able to

distinguish their products from their competitors using a clear and unique value proposition.

General Mills, Kellogg, Nestle, Quaker Oats Company, Weetabix are the top five brands that are

penetrating the global oatmeal market. According to the Oatmeal Market Size (2021), the

oatmeal market report offers a complete summary of growth trends, revenue, demand and supply
status, and regional segments. It also gives information on major opportunities, challenges,

market size, sales volume, and statistical analysis over the forecast period. 

           Oatmeal is now becoming a trend in the Philippines with Filipinos shifting into healthier

diets. Based on the reports by the FortuneBusinessInsights, the World Health Organization

recommends the consumption of wholegrain foods such as oats, to help boost immunity,

especially for children, and ensure adequate fiber intake for a healthy digestive system. Today,

there is an uprising demand for organic oat-based food products such as breakfast cereals and

organic oat flour. In the country, Quaker Oats is considered the leading brand for instant ready-

to-cook oatmeal as it has already established its name on the oatmeal market with its affordable

and nutritious oatmeal product with its added flavors. On the other hand, brands, such as Bob’s

Red Mill organic steel-cut oats, Golden Oats, Dan-D Pak, Australia Harvest, and Kellogg's, are

also among the top best oatmeal brands in the Philippines. 

           However, Del Monte is now trying to penetrate the market of instant oatmeal by

producing and launching Fruits & Oats in the US. One of the competitive advantages of Del

Monte Fruit & Oats is that it is the first ready-to-eat oatmeal that includes real fruits. It also has

won awards in 2019 as the Product of the Year in the breakfast category proving to its consumers

that it is a quality health product. Aside from the nutritious content that the product can give to

its consumers, it also has various flavors that can be enjoyed by the buyers, such as strawberry

apple, blueberry apple, and apple cinnamon.
