Non-Stick Cookware is Dominating the Cookware Industry

Nonstick coatings were used on cookware for over five decades. Most cookware is made of stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, glass, pyroceram, and ceramic, while some bakeware is made from flexible silicone. The superior properties of non-stick coatings make them popular for various food-grade non-stick applications, including cookware, such as pots and pans.

Over the years, non-stick cookware received negative attention regarding its safety and health issues due to the toxic chemicals emission. The nonstick coatings are confirmed safe for human use by Food and Drug Administration scientists. Cookware without perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is considered more environmentally friendly than those made with other nonstick coatings. Traditional PTFE pans make up the low end of the cookware market. In contrast, non-PFOA coatings, ceramics, and silicone-based coatings make up the high-end green side of the market, offering supposedly healthy solutions that are not as effective as their PTFE counterparts. The market is slowly shifting toward the green pans market, which is instrumental in expanding the market size of non-stick cookware.
