Industry Overview
Modular kitchen market, estimated at $28.5 billion in 2024, is projected to reach $49.8 billion, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2025-2035). Rapid growth in the residential construction industry is significantly contributing to the modular kitchen market's growth during the forecast period. The growing number of real estate projects and the increasing demand for space-efficient homes are further supporting the market growth. Steady completion rates, mainly in the single-family housing segment, indicate a healthy pipeline for new homes, fueling the demand for modern interior solutions such as modular kitchens.
Market Dynamics
Increasing Urbanization and Space Constraints
Growing urbanization, particularly in the developing nations, is driving demand for compact, space-saving kitchen solutions. According to the United Nations World Urbanization Prospects Report (2023), 68% of the global population will reside in cities by 2050. Modular kitchens, with their flexible designs, address space constraints in apartments and high-rise buildings. Brands such as IKEA are catering to this trend with small-space living innovations, such as foldable countertops and vertical storage. In metropolitan areas, where living spaces are shrinking, homeowners increasingly opt for adaptable, stylish, and functional kitchens. While past growth was affected by slowdowns in housing starts, steady rates of new housing completions are expected to sustain the modular kitchen market.
Rising Disposable Incomes and Lifestyle Changes
Expanding middle-class populations in economies such as China and India are investing in home upgrades. According to the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), modular kitchen sales in the Asia-Pacific region are growing at an average annual rate of 12%, driven by increasing disposable incomes and aspirational lifestyles. Premium finish options, such as matte laminates and quartz countertops, offered by brands like Hafele and Godrej Interio, are meeting the growing demand for luxury kitchens.
Market Segmentation
Increasing Demand for Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Modular Kitchen
Sustainability has shifted from being a luxury to an essential element in modern kitchen design. The kitchens of the future include eco-friendly materials that combine durability with visual appeal, such as timber, engineered stone, and recycled wood blends that merge luxury with responsibility. These choices not only enhance aesthetics but also promote healthier indoor environments through water-based products and non-toxic finishes. Designers are increasingly turning to reclaimed wood, reclaimed glass, and bamboo for cabinetry and countertop materials that lower carbon output while adding a warm, natural charm to the space. Environmental consciousness now stands at the heart of every kitchen design decision.
The global modular kitchen market is further divided by region, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
North America Modular Kitchen Market is Anticipated to Experience High Growth
The North American modular kitchen market is expected to grow, primarily due to the growing customer preference for modern and customized kitchens. The current trends in open-plan kitchens in residential homes and increased demand for luxurious homes with suitable kitchen offerings will further propel the market growth of modular kitchens in this region. The increasing levels of disposable income for consumers in North America allow them to invest in premium modular kitchen solutions, which are more functional and convenient. Furthermore, regional governments continuously implement energy efficiency policies and regulations, which positively affect the market growth of modular kitchens. For instance, in May 2025, U.S. housing activity showed sustained growth in residential construction, boosting prospects for modular kitchen demand. Housing completions reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,526,000 units, up 5.4% from April's revised 1,448,000 units, with single-family completions rising 8.1% to 1,027,000.
The global modular kitchen market is highly competitive with a significant number of global and regional vendors. Hafele SE & Co KG, Inter IKEA Systems B.V., Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Co. Ltd., nobilia-Werke J. Stickling GmbH & Co. KG, and Regalo Kitchens are some of the market leaders for modular kitchens. These players are continuously expanding their product offerings to increase their market presence.
