Description

The global smart kitchen appliances market size was valued at USD 3,537.1 million in 2020 to USD 15,134.20 million by 2027, at a CAGR of 23.08% from 2021 to 2027. The era of technological modernization began with the advent of smart homes in nations such as the U.S., the U.K., and developed European countries. The importance of home and household appliances in the lives of the population is a sign of the advancement of the living space. This has given a gradual rise in replacing traditional kitchen appliances with smart kitchen appliances in most developed nations. The configuration of modern homes with smart meters as an initiative to build smart cities has boosted the need for energy-efficient appliances in households. There are emerging market players offering various smart kitchen appliances to cater to the global smart kitchen market. For instance, Smarty Pans have developed a smart pan that provides features such as measuring and recording AI formatted recipes, calculating nutritional values, and giving step-by-step cooking instructions.

Global kitchen appliance manufacturers are introducing innovative technologies to build a modern kitchen to address the demand for simpler operations due to the rising urbanization and working population. The application of IoT in kitchen appliances provides interconnectivity and interoperability for smart kitchen appliances. Despite being a relatively new concept that allows consumers to communicate with kitchen appliances and take smart decisions, smart kitchen appliances are expected to showcase robust growth during the next decade. The trend of the smart kitchen appliances industry is prevalent in developed countries, but developing countries are also gradually realizing its importance. Governments of several countries have also recognized the need and advantages of efficient appliances to save on the energy demand. Thus, their initiatives to promote these smart appliances will further drive the growth of smart kitchen applications. The increase is driven by certain other factors mentioned in the preceding figure.

Although products offered under smart kitchen appliances render efficiency and ease in operations for the consumers, the adoption of these products also faces a few restraints. Smart kitchen appliances are offered at prices much higher than traditional kitchen appliances, making it difficult for an ordinary consumers to invest enormous amounts in upgrading their kitchen. The adoption of these appliances may be increased in the developed nations. Still, it is relatively nascent in developing countries, especially in Asia-Pacific Japan and Middle East Africa.

Global Smart Kitchen Appliances Market Dynamics

Drivers: Increase in prevalence of chronic disease

One of the significant factors is the availability of various smart kitchen appliances technologies for wireless monitoring and treatment of patients suffering from different chronic diseases, such as asthma, cancer, blood pressure, heart rate, diabetes, respiratory diseases, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases boost the market growth. Globally, chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, are the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2021, various types of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory diseases, and diabetes, are responsible for approximately 17.9 million, 9.3 million, 4.1 million, and 1.5 million deaths, respectively. As per the same source, 41 million people die each year due to chronic disease, equivalent to 71% of all deaths globally. It has been observed that 77% of the deaths from chronic diseases occur in low and middle-income countries.

Moreover, the surge in sedentary lifestyles, such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and harmful alcohol use, increase the risk of chronic disease. According to World Health Organization (WHO), in 2021, it was reported that tobacco intake, physical inactivity, and excess sodium/salt intake are responsible for approximately 7.2 million, 1.6 million, and 4.1 million deaths, respectively, each year. Therefore, this rise in prevalence of chronic disease and increase in lifestyle disorders are the major factors, which surge the demand for smart kitchen appliances service.

Restraints: Data Privacy and IoT Security Concern Among the Consumers

IoT has bridged the gap between the digital world and the natural world by providing options such as remotely determining the status of the smart appliance and transmitting tasks to be performed. The introduction of IoT into kitchen appliances and the addition of sensors and networking has taken them to a communication level, enhancing connectivity between the users and the kitchen appliances. Such sensors collect sensitive data, for instance, what the user says and does in their home. Cyber-attacks and hacking into IoT-connected devices may have harmful real-world consequences. Safety is one of the significant issues associated with IoT technology since the IoT security track record has been relatively poor. Therefore, providing adequate data security to the user is crucial for a company offering smart kitchen appliances. There are many IoT apps that do not take the basics of protection into account, such as the encryption of data in transit.

Opportunities: Favorable Government Policies to Support IoT

The introduction of IoT in smart home appliances has brought the immense potential to strengthen the technology industry. With every country attempting to achieve social and economic development, IoT has presented itself with tremendous opportunities to help countries overcome challenges in various sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, communication, transportation, science, and technology. This has resulted in governments worldwide introducing initiatives to adapt and deploy IoT, where smart kitchen appliances have been recognized as one of the favorable end-user industries. The government initiatives include several public-private partnerships and a sustained support environment to allow established companies or emerging startups to introduce new IoT devices in the market, revolutionizing the use of new technologies. In India, the government has allocated approximately $7.40 billion in its central budget to construct about 100 smart cities in the country, resulting in the country's rapid and significant expansion of IoT.
