Global Countertop Griddle Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global countertop griddle market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global countertop griddle market to grow steadily at a CAGR of around 6% by 2021. One of the major drivers responsible for the growth of this market is the influx of new products with advanced features. Several manufacturers of countertop gas griddles are providing aesthetically appealing designs with varied temperature ranges and different kinds of improved innovative countertop gas griddles to the end-users. Also, few vendors in the market are providing high-end countertop griddle brands that have automatic reignition wherein the reignition system ensures that all the burners are not struck at the same time. The extremely low temperatures provided by the burners help in melting delicate foods, like chocolate, even without a double-boiler. Electric griddle plates are mostly made of cast iron, aluminum or stainless steel. The innovations in the griddle plate material are based on various parameters like heat transfer, heat recovery, non-stick coating performance, price, and emissions. These constantly improving features in the countertop griddle will propel the global countertop griddle market in the coming years.

One of the latest trends gaining traction in this market is the growing preference for thick griddle plates. Most end-users operating commercial electric griddles are specific about the type of griddle plate while purchasing griddles. Thick griddle plates are more durable as these plates can tolerate heavy use, which means that they can continuously be used to prepare frozen food at high temperatures without showing signs of wear and tear. Another advantage of the thick griddle plate is the even distribution of heat on the griddle plate surface, which minimizes the chances of cold spots on the plate surface. Moreover, the capability of thick griddle plates to have excellent heat retention capacity for swift temperature recovery will propel the adoption of thick griddle in the commercial sector. This high rate of adoption, will, in turn, augment the growth of the global countertop griddle market during the forecast period.
