The rising popularity of ovens among consumers across Europe due to their various functionalities is also anticipated to boost the market growth over the forecast period. The coronavirus pandemic adversely affected the world economy. To stop the further spread of SARS-CoV-2, lockdown orders were imposed by governments across the globe. This had a devastating impact on trade and development, offline distribution channels, and the supply chain of the market for cookers & ovens. However, the market has, since, bounced back and is on the path to recovery, fueled by continued demand for a host of cooking appliances, including cookers and ovens.
There is a growing demand for freestanding cookers that provide precise temperature control as well as pre-set ovens with automatic power levels, which presents an opportunity in the market. Currently, key players operating in the market are focusing on launching stainless-steel cavity-based ovens as well as smart inverter microwave ovens. Apart from these, while some players are incorporating tandoor technology in the ovens, others are looking to offer built-in cookers, especially to cater to the demand in Europe.
Players have also stepped up their investments to manufacture advanced ovens & cookers at lower prices. For instance, China-based Haier Group invested in procuring technologically advanced ovens at a lower cost. This gives companies a competitive edge. Key players in the market are adopting online marketing channels to boost the sales of kitchen appliances. These e-commerce portals have been improving the commercial outlook for cookers and ovens, fueling the market growth.
Type Insights
Cooktops & cooking ranges accounted for the dominant share of over 80% in 2021 as these are energy-efficient cooking solutions. The growing adoption of dual heat sensor-based induction cooktops is fueling the demand for these kitchen appliances. The rising demand for cooktops with front Bakelite knob control among consumers in China and Saudi Arabia is also likely to boost segment growth over the forecast period. Ovens are projected to register the fastest growth over the forecast period, which is owing to the rising demand for charcoal lighting heater-based ovens from consumers in the U.K. and Germany.
The cookers segment also held a significant share in the cookers & ovens market and is expected to witness strong growth over the forecast period. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing adoption of cookers with multiple burners as they ease the task of cooking. Moreover, cookers are available in varying sizes, depending upon the usage, the size of the kitchen, and the requirements of the consumers. Hot air grilling-based cookers are immensely popular in the market.
Distribution Channel Insights
The offline segment held a share of just under 75% in the global market in 2021. The growing demand for micro-ovens in developing countries such as China and India will help build the network of kitchen appliance distributors and resellers. Local stores selling household appliances supply a diversified portfolio of cookers and ovens, both portable and non-portable, and build long-lasting customer relationships. Supportive measures taken by product manufacturers to provide an efficient sales margin for offline stores will propel the segment growth.
The online segment is projected to register the fastest growth over the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increased focus of cooker & oven manufacturers to adopt online trading as it is more secure compared to conventional trading. The availability of multiple international and domestic brands, customer-oriented delivery services, efficient transaction solutions, and safe payment methods are major factors driving consumers to purchase cookers & ovens through the online sales channel.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of over 35% in the global market in 2021, driven by various regional and local market trends. The increasing demand for convection microwave ovens among consumers in China and India, the rising trend in Japan to adopt motorized rotisseries with food-locking capability in ovens, the growing demand for enameled cavity-based cookers in China, and the increasing demand for 4D hot air-based ovens in India are some of the prominent trends anticipated to propel the Asia Pacific market.
Europe held the second-largest share in the market in terms of revenue, fueled by the rising popularity of ovens and built-in cookers among consumers in the region. The Middle East & Africa is projected to witness the fastest growth from 2022 to 2028, primarily owing to the growing disposable income of the upper-middle-class population in emerging economies such as Saudi Arabia and South Africa. The rising adoption of hot air grilling-based ovens and cooktops in Saudi Arabia and drip-free pouring-based cookers in South Africa are estimated to propel the regional market over the forecast period.
