Product Insights

Propane-based gas fire table held the largest share of 77.4% in terms of revenue in 2019. This is attributed to the compatible attributes of a propane-based gas-powered pit with the help of a pre-attached hose and a turn on and off feature so that there is no need to wait for the fire to burn down or find water to douse it out when it is not in use. Propane-based fire tables allow the users to make a fire during burn bans in certain areas. Propane pits also generally emit less heat than a large wood-burning fire pit, thereby driving the demand for this product.

Natural gas is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 10.0% from 2020 to 2027. Natural gas is usually supplied to urban and suburban area homes that can be tapped into for a permanent install. Natural gas fire tables are generally hard piped to the home, which means that consumers won’t be in a difficulty when they want to operate the fire table but do not have an LP tank handy. Natural gas is also lighter than air and can dissipate quickly, which leaves very little room for accidents.

Distribution Channel Insights

The offline channel of distribution led the market and accounted for a share of 89.2% in terms of revenue in 2019. The high prominence of retail store channels as it facilitates the consumers to have a first-hand look at the products, which helps in the easy inspection of the quality and specifications, is fueling the segment growth.  The availability of a wide range of products offered by different brands and the ability to compare the prices and product attributes are some of the factors that are expected to have a positive impact on the segment growth. Also, retailers' discounted prices and budget-friendly offers drive more customer footfall in these stores. Moreover, the availability of varied quality gas fire tables at an affordable rate offered by local manufacturers is likely to attract a greater number of customers to offline channels. Strong localized positioning and increased focus on customer needs and experience are the major factors that are expected to foster the growth of this distribution channel segment.

The online distribution channel is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period years with a CAGR of 10.3% from 2020 to 2027. The availability of a wide range of products from domestic as well as international players online is expected to boost the consumer preference for e-commerce platforms. The availability of exclusive products and their first pieces are some of the factors that are likely to propel sales through company portals. Discount prices, festive sales, and a wide range of products on e-commerce websites are expected to result in a slow rate of sales through company portals. An increasing number of third-party retailers has widened the scope of home bedding products, such as blankets, concerning its visibility among the large customer base. Domestic and international players are targeting online platforms, such as Amazon.com and Alibaba, to reach out to customers.
