Key Commercial Kitchen Knives Market Driver
The increasing demand for customized commercial kitchen knives is notably driving the commercial kitchen knife market growth. Customers can customize the knives as per their requirements. Many chefs ensure that the commercial kitchen knives they use are ergonomically designed and have the best quality handles and blades. This is one of the factors that has increased the demand for customized knives. One of the most popular customizations being done in commercial kitchen knives is engravings on blades or handles.
In addition, demand for customization in terms of handles made of unique materials and knives with different types or quality of blades is also significantly increasing. Many end-user establishments also prefer to get their brand name engraved on commercial kitchen knives. For instance, Messermeister, a prominent vendor of commercial kitchen knives, offers commercial kitchen knives with an option for personalized names or phrases etched on the knife blades. Similarly, tattoos and picture engraving services are offered by I.O.Shen on the knife blades.
Key Commercial Kitchen Knives Market Trend
Growing demand for superior quality and durable commercial kitchen knives is the key market trend driving the commercial kitchen knives market growth. The growing demand for durable and high-quality commercial kitchen knives is encouraging some of the market players to increase their focus on introducing new units of commercial kitchen knives with improved design and quality. This helps the vendors to leverage the high market demand and increase their product adoption and market share at the same time. The improvements in design are mainly in terms of better handles, the material used for knife handles and blades, sharpness and strength of knives.
Similarly, the vendor also provides knives that are made using PEtec. It is a computer-aided application which helps increase the sharpness of the knives and maintain the sharpness for a longer duration. With the use of this technology, the blades are measured before sharpening, then the computer calculates the sharpening angle for each blade, and precision robots sharpen the blades.
Key Commercial Kitchen Knives Market Challenge
The major challenge impeding the commercial kitchen knife market growth is the increased sale of counterfeit commercial kitchen knives. The prevailing and growing market for counterfeit commercial kitchen knives affects the sale of original knives. These knives are manufactured without following the process of quality measures. As a result, they are inferior in quality as compared to original commercial kitchen knives. Despite the inferior quality, these knives carry the trademark names and symbols of the vendors producing original commercial kitchen knives.
However, though these knives appear to be visually the same as their original counterparts, they tend to be low on performance and quality. Buying counterfeit commercial kitchen knives can result in a loss of customer confidence in the brand, affecting the market growth.
