Cookware Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The rapid penetration of regular kitchen stoves using lpg fuel in emerging countries is notably driving the cookware market growth, although factors such as growing threat from unorganized sector may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the cookware industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Cookware Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the cookware market is the rapid penetration of regular kitchen stoves using LPG as fuel in emerging countries in APAC. Over the last few years, the extensive growth of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as the primary fuel used for cooking applications, especially in emerging countries in APAC, such as India, and China, has subsequently reflected in the sales of these cookware products. Leading consumers of LPG in APAC such as India, China, and Indonesia are expected to continue to witness high adoption of cooking gas in households during the forecast period. Government initiatives have also encouraged the growth in the application of LPG cylinders for cooking applications. The growth in penetration of LPG in these key countries that have a high customer base is expected to boost the sales of compatible cookware products.
Key Cookware Market Trend
The induction-compatible copper cookware is another factor supporting the cookware market share growth. With the growing popularity of induction cooktops, there has been a rise in customer demand for multi-cooktop compatible cookware that can be used for both gas and induction stovetops. Copper is a preferred cookware material owing to its even heat distribution properties. While copper cookware continued to be a niche market in 2018, several copper cookware vendors are providing a range of induction-compatible copper pots and pans. These pans are lined with magnetic stainless steel instead of traditional tin linings, thus making them compatible with induction stovetops. The growing popularity of induction cooktops due to their overall cost efficiency and faster cooking times is expected to continue well into the forecast period. Subsequently, multi-cooktop compatible cookware is expected to remain a key trend during the forecast years.
Key Cookware Market Challenge
The growing threat from the unorganized sector will be a major challenge for the cookware market during the forecast period. Over the last few years, the presence of the unorganized sector in the global cookware market, especially in developing countries in APAC such as India and China, has been a major hurdle for market vendors. The presence of a diverse customer base in these emerging economies poses market penetration challenges to organized market vendors. According to TTK Prestige, the unorganized market in India sells cookware products such as pressure cookers and non-stick cookware at around 20% cheaper than organized players. Organized vendors such as TTK Prestige and Hawkins Cookers have lost significant market share to the unorganized sector due to low market penetration in rural areas which account for a high customer base in countries such as India and China.
This cookware market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
