The rise in trend of preparing food at home is the prominent factor that is bolstering the growth of the market. Instead, the focus was on purchasing quality and innovative kitchen products to elevate the cooking experience. This change is inspired by health consciousness, monetary savings, social networking platforms, and changing lifestyle.
 

A major reason for this is the growing emphasis on eating healthy. “Lean towards cooking at home so you can control the ingredients, portion sizes and cooking methods. And that has increased demand for things like air fryers, steamers, cold-press juicers, meal-prep containers and portion-control utensils. According to the USDA, people in the United States are now preparing 82% of their meals at home, which has clearly contributed to an affection for home cooking. The rise in popularity of plant-based diets, keto and other types of nutrition plans have also increased the need for blenders, spiralizers and precision cooking tools.
 

Another reason is the cost savings of preparing meals at home versus dining out. Food prices are increasing so more people are opting to make meals at home. Things like durable cooking, non-stick frying pans, pressure cookers and food storage solutions are quick-moving. Other purchases are high quality tools such as cast-iron cookware, stainless steel knives and eco-friendly bakeware, which is favored because experts say they pay off over time. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that food away from home increased 8.3% in 2023, making cooking at home more affordable.
 

Social media and online platforms have also been incentivizing home cooking. Instagram, TikTok and YouTube serve up cooking tutorials, recipe challenges and kitchen hacks, and that’s generated interest in stylish or innovative kitchen tools. Brands are touting colorful cookware, ergonomic designs and hip utensils to appeal to younger consumers such as millennials and Gen Z.
 

Flexible work arrangements and remote jobs have, too, played a role in this trend. With extra time at home, people are trying new recipes, baking and gourmet cooking. It has resulted in increased sales of bread makers, pasta rollers, stand mixers and specialty baking tools. Another statistic cited by the USDA is that now 60% of Americans meal prep, which has spurred demand for food storage containers, vacuum sealers and organizing tools.

New technology, sustainability trends, and changing consumer preferences are transforming the kitchen tools and accessories market. One of the largest trends is smart and connected kitchen gadgets.

The U.S. Census Bureau reports that more than 60% of households in the United States have at least one smart kitchen appliance.
 

The other major trend in the kitchen tools & accessories market is sustainability. Consumers are increasingly looking for biodegradable utensils, bamboo cutting boards, stainless steel straws and non-toxic cookware. As consumer awareness about environmental impact grows, brands are looking at recyclable materials, PFOA-free non-stick coatings, and reusable food storage products. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recycling rates of materials such as aluminum and steel have improved by 15 percent in the past 10 years.
