As a result, fire pits have emerged as one of the popular trends among homeowners seeking to upgrade their outdoor living spaces. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the growth of the market.

This is likely to accelerate the demand for fire pits in outdoor activities significantly.

Product Type Insights

In terms of revenue, the wood-burning segment dominated the market with a share of around 48.8% in 2022. Wood-burning pits are essentially homemade camping pits, as they are kept away from the primary house site.

The propane segment is projected to register a CAGR of 9.4% from 2023 to 2030. Propane burns cleaner and does not produce sparks or ash that can land on clothing or skin.
