Residential Cooking Grills Market Size

The global residential cooking grill market was valued at USD 1.96 billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 6% from 2024 to 2032. A pastime once limited to vacationers or occasional outings with friends now appears to be a multi-billion dollar industry that caters to the desires of on-grid living while simultaneously maintaining a connection to nature.
 

Outdoor cooking is in favor of modern consumers because it shifts the focus from indoor dining to nature. According to an article on dfsf.com, over 70% of adult residents in the US own a barbecue, grill, or smoker. Compared to the traditional indoor kitchen range, outdoor cooking appears to be more appealing to the post-covid lifestyle. A preliminary buying reason for residential cooking appliances is the fact that during the pandemic, people spent more time grilling outdoors than indoor cooking, prompting a surge of housing activity.
 

The smart entertainment trend, which has resulted from covid lockdowns, is pushing the development of the residential grill range further. Smart appliances such as Dyna-Glo SPG6002S include phone connectivity, smart thermometers, and integrated timers. Additionally, new materials and energy-saving technologies improve operational efficiency and durability. Increased interest in builds created for the outdoors encourages manufacturers to provide better technology in the rugged grill marketplace.

Residential Cooking Grill Market Analysis

The market for residential cooking grills has some inconsistencies due to seasonal fluctuations in demand. Volumes of sales are at their highest during the summer months, where people are active outdoors, barbecuing and using grills, before dropping off towards winter. This increases the difficulty of managing inventories for retailers, since they have to make sure they have enough stock during peak periods while not having too much during off seasons. There are also challenges in the planning of production schedules and supply chain management, all of which affect company profitability.
 

• Based on type, the residential cooking grill market is segmented into charcoal grill, electric grill, gas grill, pellet grill and others. The charcoal grill is dominating the market in 2023, generating a revenue of USD 1.05 billion and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecasted time. The number of gas grills in use is surpassing that of traditional charcoal grills at an accelerated pace. This is largely because of the ease of use associated with gas grills. Besides being more economical than barbecue gas grills, charcoal grills give a distinctive flavor to the food. Charcoal gives off tremendous heat when ignited, making the food more appetizing and delightful.
   
• Additionally, charcoal is effective in maintaining high temperatures for extended periods, which makes cooking more enjoyable. This helps grills achieve phenomenal heating and caramelizing on meat and vegetables, improving their taste and texture. Also, charcoal grills are relatively lower priced than gas grills hence, they cater to a wider range of customers. This, in turn, benefits both casual users and serious grillers, enabling broader participation in outdoor cooking without excessive expense.
   

• Based on installation, the residential cooking grill market is segmented into fixed and portable. The fixed or built-in grills remain the best-selling product in meat cooking markets, where consumers cite advantages such as longevity, simplicity, and more food cooked per session. By 2023, the fixed segment is projected to account for 59% of the total share of the cooking grill market. From 2024 to 2032, this segment is predicted to increase at a CAGR of 5.8%. Due to their impressive structure, these kinds of grills can be used in outdoor kitchens, as they enable the building to retain heat. They are considered a more permanent solution.
   
• In addition, the ability to have multiple inline burners, side rubber holders, and other storage compartments makes them appealing to the super grillers who desire the next level of cooking. There is an increasing interest in outdoor gatherings, and so portable grills are expected to leap in the market due to their convenience, compact size, and innovative technology.
   

• In 2023, this industry generated around 880 million dollars in revenue in the US, which is maintained as the leading region in the residential cooking grill market. It is anticipated that the revenue will continue to grow at a CAGR rate of 6.1%. In addition, it is easy to understand why they are leading in this particular segment because there is an excitement about outdoor cooking and barbecuing in North America. Manufacturers in the region are capable of developing different gas, charcoal, and electric grill types to satisfy the huge demand from diverse consumers.
