Cookware in the United States 2009
Mintel, Sep 2009, Pages: 137
Estimated at $3.0 billion in 2009, the cookware, bakeware and cutlery market has seen sales fall in 2008-2009. Plummeting housing sales and falling consumer confidence have led Americans to cut back on new kitchen products, especially high-end purchases. However, economizing Americans have also been increasing at-home cooking, which counters the downturn, and opened opportunities for suppliers and retailers to reach out to new consumers. This report examines overall sales data and trends for the market as a whole, for its four major retail segments and through major retail channels. It analyzes how the market has been shaped by the downturn, changes in consumer behavior, green trends, consumer concerns about the safety of non-stick cooking surfaces, the proliferation of celebrity chefs and broader demographic changes. It profiles major suppliers, focusing on overall branding strategies as well as new product introductions and innovations. It examines changes in the retail market, including analysis of how mass merchandisers, department stores and other retailers have been adjusting to the downturn. It provides insight into areas of future growth.
Research embraces the specific type of products purchased, brands purchased and retailer preferences, as well as exploring consumer attitudes and behaviors, including:
- Which groups have been acquiring the most cookware/bakeware/cutlery in the past two years?
- What types of products, brands and retailers are favored by different consumer groups?
- What products are most often first time purchases, replacements or gifts?
- How has the downturn affected the consumer behavior of different groups in terms of cooking and eating at home? Which groups are most likely to report eating at home?
- Which consumer groups are most likely to be cooking from scratch, and which are seeking the quickest, easiest at-home meal preparation?
- What types of cooking—baking, grilling, stove-top cooking, frying, etc.—are different consumer groups doing more of?
