The U.S. kitchenware market size was estimated at USD 8,955.7 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2025 to 2033. The market is driven by a growing preference for home cooking, influenced by post-pandemic habits, health awareness, and cost-saving needs. Urbanization and the rise of smaller households are boosting demand for compact, multifunctional, and space-saving kitchen tools. In addition, there is a strong shift toward aesthetically designed, premium-quality products that align with modern kitchen decor and are often showcased on social media platforms.
According to the National Frozen and Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA), in 2024, 64% of Americans cook at home to save money and maintain better control over their budgets. 81% of consumers prepare most of their meals at home. The cooking confidence gained during the pandemic has encouraged many to explore new ideas for preparing healthier meals.
A National Frozen and Refrigerated Foods Association survey reveals that over 54% of consumers learn about food and cooking through platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Social media often showcases beautifully styled kitchenware and visually appealing dishes, inspiring others and fueling demand for stylish, high-quality kitchen tools. This combination of functionality and aesthetic appeal continues to drive market growth, as consumers increasingly invest in durable, well-designed products that enhance the look and experience of home cooking and baking.
Consumers increasingly prioritize BPA-free, non-toxic, and eco-friendly kitchenware, seeking materials like high-grade stainless steel, glass, bamboo, ceramic, and food-grade silicone. These materials are favored because they don't leach harmful chemicals, avoid PFAS "forever chemicals," and align with environmentally conscious values. Alongside safer materials, kitchenware that promotes portion control, oil-free cooking, and food safety is gaining traction.
Digital measuring spoons and portion-control gadgets enable precise ingredient usage, critical for mindful, healthier eating. For instance, the GreenLife Soft Grip cookware collection offers ceramic nonstick cookware free from PFAS, PFOA, and other harmful substances. It is made using recycled aluminum and coated with Thermolon, a nontoxic, eco-friendly ceramic material.
The kitchenware industry is embracing smart technology, with products like digital measuring spoons, app-connected kitchen scales, and Bluetooth-enabled thermometers becoming mainstream. These gadgets enhance cooking precision, integrate with fitness or recipe apps, and offer features like barcode scanning, nutritional tracking, and step-by-step guided recipes. For example, scales such as the Drop Kitchen connected scale sync via Bluetooth to apps, guiding cooks through interactive recipes. Thermometers with wireless connectivity (e.g., INKBIRD's Bluetooth meat thermometers) allow real-time monitoring and cooking alerts.
