• Over the coming years, robust growth is forecasted within the kitchenware market, with the projections indicating a hike to $89 billion by 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%.
The surge within the predicted period can be associated with the escalation of e-commerce, the advent of sustainable and environmentally-friendly products, the demand for intelligent kitchen gadgets, and worldwide culinary diversification. Predominant trends to see during this timeframe include tailor-made and modular kitchenware, precision-based and sous vide cooking, vintage-styled and retro designs, plus a drive towards zero-waste in kitchen culture.
The burgeoning number of food retail chains, eateries, and hotels is predicted to spur the kitchenware market's growth. Food retail chains constitute a series of interlinked stores that offer an array of food products while hotels and restaurants supply prepared meals, drinks, lodging and a varied selection of dining options onsite. The widening scope of food preparation means a surge in kitchenware demand as more dining establishments need utensils, appliances, and other kitchen equipment. This creates a multiplier effect on the growth of the kitchenware industry. In August 2023, as documented by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, a government agency in the US that gathers facts, the count of establishments involved in food services and drinking places for the 4th quarter of 2022 in the private industry was 694,267, reflecting a 4.28% increase from 665,736 in the same period in 2021. Consequently, the swelling number of food retail chains, eateries, and hotels is set to stimulate the kitchenware market. The escalation in the count of hotels and restaurants is anticipated to stimulate the kitchenware market's growth. The transformation in lifestyle and consumer preferences are contributing factors to the amplified number of hotels and restaurants. The expansion of the hospitality sector because of the surge in tourism, urbanisation, and evolving consumer lifestyles has led to a corresponding growth in the demand for superior kitchenware products. For instance, as reported by EHL Insights, a Swiss central source that provides actionable insights into Hospitality, Business & Education worldwide, the sector of hotels and food services grew by 8.6% in February 2022. Hence, the expansion of the number of hotels and restaurants will fuel the kitchenware market.
