The global commercial kitchen appliances market size was valued at USD 79.72 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% from 2020 to 2027. The market is poised to witness substantial growth in the coming years owing to the growth of the travel and tourism industry and the rising attractiveness of Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) among millennials. Increasing demand for drive-through meals, fast-paced life in metros and cosmopolitan cities, a surge in the number of working women and nuclear families, and rise in disposable income of individuals are some of the other factors driving the market for commercial kitchen appliances.

U.S. commercial kitchen appliances market size

Changing the lifestyle of the youth population and shift towards a low-calorie and a healthy diet are expected to positively impact the demand for nutritious food chains and thereby commercial kitchen equipment associated with them. Additionally, rising consumer spending on tourism and the hospitality sector is encouraging restaurant owners to upgrade their infrastructure and offer enhanced services. Thus, increasing demand for deployment of upgraded kitchen equipment at commercial spaces is expected to favorably contribute to the market growth.

Growing use of smart kitchen equipment by the foodservice industry is expected to boost the demand for commercial kitchen appliances. These smart commercial kitchen equipment are designed with advanced connectivity features and equipped with sensors, which can connect to handheld devices, such as smartphones and tablets or other household devices.

End-use industries are now favoring commercial kitchen equipment inbuilt with digital transformation technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), which are helping them cater to their customers with perpetual operations. For instance, Elanpro, an India-based commercial refrigerator manufacturer, launched IOT-enabled connected refrigerator with intuitive alert and temperature management features for the HoReCa industry.

Furthermore, rising awareness amongst the end-use industries regarding the utilization of energy-efficient commercial kitchen equipment is likely to lead to a notable increase in demand for kitchen appliances in the commercial sector. In addition, supportive government regulations promoting energy-efficient commercial kitchen equipment are expected to escalate the sales of commercial kitchen appliances, thus curbing energy consumption. For instance, the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA) proposes the foodservice industries to utilize refrigerator certified with R-290 (refrigerant grade propane) as it is natural, non-toxic, and free from ozone-damaging properties and reduces the overall energy costs by around 28.0%.

Product Insights

The commercial kitchen appliances market is segregated by product into refrigerator, cooking appliance, dishwasher, and other specialized appliance. The cooking appliance segment is further segmented into cooktop and cooking range, oven, and other cooking appliance. In 2019, the refrigerator segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 40.0% and is expected to witness substantial growth over the forecast period.

Growing need for food preservation owing to changing climatic conditions is contemplating the end customers to deploy refrigerator with state-of-the-art technologies. Thus, the growing emphasis on advancements in refrigeration technologies is expected to boost the demand for refrigerators during the forecast period. For instance, Liebherr launched commercial food service refrigerators and freezers with elite cooling components for the restaurant and foodservice industry in North America.

The cooking appliance segment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast period on account of increased demand for combination oven and induction cooktop and cooking range.

The transportation system is overburdened by immense demand and there is an increased need to flourish the associated facilities worldwide. With countries including India, China, and Japan increasing the number of trains each year, the railway dining segment and the associated kitchen appliance industry are projected to witness significant growth.

Global commercial kitchen appliances market share

The hospitals segment is envisioned to witness significant growth from 2020 to 2027. One of the key factors responsible for the higher deployment of these appliances in hospitals is the need to prepare food in the hospital’s vicinity to maintain the nutritional requirements of the patients. The ability to offer diverse food items to long-term residents while maintaining hygiene standards is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for the commercial kitchen appliances industry participants in the hospital sector.

Furthermore, the ferry and cruise and canteens are adopting a menu that is suited to other local cultures and ethnic foods from various countries, which, in turn, is anticipated to boost the demand for commercial kitchen appliances in the region.

The quick service restaurants segment in the Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a substantial rate as a large number of international chains and local players are venturing their businesses in the region. There is a growing trend of the foreign QSR chains trying to adapt to local tastes. Similarly, Indian restaurants are incorporating multi-cuisine food preparations, such as Italian, Mexican, and Continental, in their food menu, owing to an increasing number of customers experimenting with new food and developing a taste for different cuisines.
