Market Snapshot:
The global Induction Cooktops Market was worth $18.6 billion in the year 2018. It is anticipated to touch US$ 27.3 billion by 2025, with a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period. This could be attributed to the increasing demand for energy-efficient and time-saving cooking appliances. Plus, the latest trend catching up is that of inclination toward modular kitchens; especially amongst the middle-class population in emerging economies like India and China. This is expected to upscale the induction cooktops’ scope further.
Market Scope:
Safety concerns are being raised all over regarding handling cooking appliances. Induction cooktops imply the generation of an electromagnetic field and transferring heat directly to metal cookware comprising ferrous metals like iron and steel. The top surface of induction cookware is usually made from proper heat-resistant ceramic or glass. As an outcome, the surface as a whole, as well as the surroundings, don’t get heated at the cooking. Moreover, these cooktops have the tendency to shut off automatically when cookware isn’t present on the top. Such products do render safety and energy efficiency in comparison with traditional cooktops. All these factors are likely to keep the induction cooktop market on its toes in the upcoming period.
