Market Segmentation

Mintel defines the US cookware category as the following three main categories: cookware, bakeware, and cutlery.

Cookware includes

  • Standard pots and saucepans,
  • Frying pans,
  • Woks,
  • Casserole dishes designed for use on the stove or in the oven.

Key Topics Covered

  • Drivers and trends in the cookware market.
  • Innovation and competitive dynamics in the category.
  • Cooking and baking frequency and reasons for cooking more/less.
  • Cookware ownership and usage.
  • Retailers shopped for cookware.

US Cookware Market Overview

In this time of inflation, home cooking has become more economical than restaurants and pre-made meals, causing consumers to view cookware as an investment. However, as people have returned to pre-pandemic lifestyles, the percentage of people cooking more has decreased.

Cookware Consumer Statistics

  • 88% say durability is more important than design. Design is a major purchase influencer for cookware, but people are not willing to trade durability for it. Brands need to focus on durability to compete.
  • Nesting cookware sets and multifunctional pots and pans will continue to drive value. Near to half of consumers state they have limited space for cookware and bakeware, as elevated housing costs cause an increase in focus on square footage.
  • More people cook than bake, reflected in the fact that many consumers don’t use their cake or muffin tins, decorating tools, or mixing bowls. Brands relying on these less-used segments will benefit if they can find an occasion.

Opportunity for Cookware Brands

Cast iron cookware is long-lasting but needs more upkeep and can be challenging for some consumers to handle due to its weight. Meanwhile, leading players in the industry have demonstrated that ceramic can be robust and cost-effective. Regardless, durability across all value tiers will encourage young consumers to upgrade as they progress through their peak earning years.

We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.

Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.

Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, Wunderman Thompson

We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.

They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.

Abby Carvosso, Group Managing Director, Bauer Media Group

One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.

We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.

We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.

Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch

We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.

Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.

Zac Steele, E-Commerce Trading Development Manager, Waitrose & Partners

We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.

By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.

For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.

Virginia Harvey, Secondary Research Manager, Epsilon
