Smart features, expanding cordless options to spur value gains Cleveland, OH, June 25, 2024 — US demand for small household kitchen appliances is forecast to advance 6.6% per year in nominal terms through 2028, according to Small Kitchen Appliances: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Suppliers will benefit from growth in disposable personal incomes, household formation, and construction expenditures on residential building improvements. In addition, demand in value terms will continue to receive a boost from the ongoing sale of products offering innovations and new features that help reduce the time and effort required for food and beverage preparation. Examples of innovations and new features include appliances that can connect to the internet, smart home hubs, virtual assistants, and cordless appliances that allow for ease of use anywhere in the house, without the limitations of power outlets and cord range. Faster gains will be limited by competition from beverages and meals prepared at eating and drinking establishments, which reduces the use of small kitchen appliances and postpones replacement. The availability of coffee, fast food meals, fruit beverages, and snacks from chain restaurants with significant funding available for investing and marketing new and trending menu items limits higher levels of appliance use at home, restricting demand levels. Furthermore, the ongoing improvement in the food and beverage pickup and delivery experience, particularly internet-originated ordering, further reduces the need to use small kitchen appliances. High levels of market saturation for many items and penetration by low-cost imports will also restrain faster advances. These and other key insights are featured in Small Kitchen Appliances: United States.
