COVID-19 IMPACT

Halt In Manufacturing Activities Led To Decline Of The Market

The market expansion for kitchenware and housewares has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic epidemic.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rapid Urbanization and Rising Food Consumption Will Drive the Market’s Growth

By serving the growing urban population that is concentrated in cities, the worldwide market for kitchenware and home goods has carved out a niche for itself. This has been made possible by changes in consumer behaviour brought on by rising disposable incomes and rising consumer tastes for luxury and semi-luxury goods, which have raised the market demand for these goods. Their decision to purchase higher-quality goods, which may use crystals, ceramics, and other materials, shows this trend. Additionally, rising food consumption and the planet's fast-expanding population are two key variables that are projected to drive market expansion for kitchenware and houseware internationally. Additional factors that are projected to aid in the target market's revenue growth include an increase in kitchen modernization desire and an increase in disposable income.

Expanding Tourism Industry and Rapid Digitization to Propel the Market

The tourism industry is expanding in places like Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, and this is helping related industries, like the hospitality sector, to grow. This expansion is greatly increasing the need for kitchenware and houseware, which is further likely to fuel the growth of the market. The demand for these items is also being fueled by the high quality of living and apparent human development index in developed nations, which is assisting the market's expansion.

Furthermore, globally rapid digitization is having a significant impact on consumer power. Market participants have increased chance to communicate with customers thanks to mobile solutions and internet access. The market for kitchenware and houseware equipment has grown dramatically due largely to online platforms and e-commerce. Significant chances to create more sophisticated items, such as networked products, are also presented by digitization.

• Digitization and e-commerce growth: Online sales of kitchenware increased by 25% globally in 2022–2023 due to higher internet penetration and mobile shopping (according to UNCTAD E-Commerce Report, 2023).

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Market’s Competition will Hamper the Market

The proliferation of products that have been copied is further aided by the increase in the number of unorganized suppliers and producers of kitchenware and home goods in numerous nations worldwide. This circulation may impede the expansion prospects of top companies in the global kitchenware and housewares market. The key barrier preventing market expansion is the increasing demand from consumers for maintenance and repair services for various types of household appliances. The rising cost of smart kitchen appliances may also deter people with limited resources from wanting them. Strong competition from local industry rivals is impeding the business progress of well-known companies. The market's growth can be slowed by several factors.

• Competition from unorganized suppliers: Unregulated suppliers account for over 40% of kitchenware sales in developing countries, impacting organized market growth (according to WTO Trade Report, 2023).

• Rising cost of smart appliances: 15% of potential buyers delay purchasing high-tech kitchenware due to premium pricing (according to the Consumer Electronics Association, 2023).
