The global microwave oven market was valued at US$ 6.5 billion in 2018. The market growth is expected to continue to grow at a modest pace in the future, reaching approximately US$ 9 billion by 2025.
The improving consumer living standards along with food consumption patterns, strict timetable and growing consumer demand for frozen and ready-to-eat food in urban cities are key factors driving growth in the market.
Most people in urban areas in developed countries tend to dine outside, which could be a drawback to the demand for home appliances. However, this can also increase the demand for fast-food chains, takeaways, restaurants, cafes, which will also benefit the microwave oven market.
Macroeconomic factors such as growing population and rising consumer disposable income will have a positive impact on the market in the coming years. Changes in the modern consumers’ eating behaviour will also support the microwave oven market to grow.
