Kitchen Sinks Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Material, by Installation, by Bowl, by End User : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2034

Key Market Dynamics 

The surge in demand for premium kitchen fixtures, rise in adoption of modular kitchens, and increase in consumer expenditure on home improvement and home décor products are expected to drive the kitchen sinks market growth during the forecast period. The rise in consumer income, surge in penetration of restaurants and other food service units and increase in the number of real estate projects across the globe are anticipated to propel the growth in the kitchen sinks market demand in the forthcoming years. 

There is a rise in the number of hotels, restaurants, and cafes (HoReCa) as the industry is recovering rapidly after the pandemic. According to the report of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, full-service and fast-food restaurants are the two largest segments of the commercial foodservice market that accounted for about 69.3% of all food-away-from-home sales in 2022. In 2021, the food service and food retailing industries supplied about $2.39 trillion worth of food in the U.S. In 2022, the share of food-at-home expenditures was 43.8%, and food away from home was 56.2% going back to pre-pandemic levels after accounting for 51.1% in 2020. As a result, the recovery of food service industries in 2022 boosted demand for kitchen sinks, supporting market growth. A cloud kitchen uses a commercial kitchen for preparing food for delivery or takeout only, with no dine-in customers. Due to limited availability of space and the rising number of food delivery channels such as Swiggy and Zomato the cloud kitchen is rising and is expected to grow. All these factors are expected to help the market to grow. 

Increasing urbanization is expected to result in the expansion of the building industry as major builders and constructors are developing new residential development projects to meet the need for housing from migrants. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in 2010, 51.6% lived in urban areas. By 2022, the share of the urban population increased to 56.9%. It is generally higher in the developed (79.7% in 2022) than in the developing world (52.3%) . Along with this, with the rise in urbanization, the number of people who are making their homes appealing and comfortable is expected to increase. Thus, owing to all these factors, the rise in urbanization will lead to the growth of the kitchen sinks market share. 

However, the fluctuating prices of raw materials may hamper the growth of the kitchen sinks industry. Stainless steel is the major raw material for the manufacturing of kitchen sinks due to its durability, resistance, and reliability. The price of stainless steel has risen by around 130% in the previous six years. The rise in stainless steel prices will likely increase the cost of kitchen sinks, which could hinder market growth. Stainless steel is the primary material for manufacturing kitchen sinks, and the high prices may deter consumers from making purchases, leading to a slowdown in kitchen sinks market expansion. 

Various steps are being taken by the players in the kitchen sink market. For instance, the Kohler smart kitchen sink offers voice control, while Xiaomi’s Mensarjor kitchen sink offers smart dishwasher integration with high-frequency vibrations for cleaning vegetables and fruits. Internet of Things is a growing network of everyday objects that connects industrial machines to consumer home appliances which will help in sharing information and completing tasks while doing other chores. Along with this, the introduction of a portable sink by GoSun is also a great initiative that uses solar energy to pump water at 15 PSI, and can function as a portable handwashing station, and a source of clean drinking water.  Such technological advancements by players will create an opportunity for the market growth. 

E-commerce has boomed as a sales channel. ITU estimates that approximately 5.4 billion people or 67% of the world’s population were using the Internet in 2023. This represents an increase of 45% since 2018, with 1.7 billion people estimated to have come online during that period.   The rising penetration of smartphone and internet users is expected to drive significant growth in e-commerce as a sales channel in the kitchen sinks market. Along with this, there is a rise in the number of online sales channels such as Amazon, Flipkart, and others. Such a rise in the e-commerce channel is expected to increase the sales of kitchen sinks during the forecast period since the rise in the number of internet users will result in rising awareness of the product to consumers.
