Household Slicer Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Manual, Automatic), By Distribution Channel (Offline, Online), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2020 - 2027

Report Overview

The global household slicer market size was valued at USD 308.6 million in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% from 2020 to 2027. The increasing preference for food slicers due to the rise in the importance of food consumption and booming food bloggers is anticipated to fuel the growth of the market. Home-based food slicers are gaining increasing popularity as they reduce the time required to cut various types of foods compared to traditional tools, such as household slicer. Growing preference for efficient kitchen tools across the residential sector is pumping up the demand for household slicers. The adoption and introduction of foreign and new cuisines and the growing trend of finger foods are likely to propel the demand for specialized tools.

Demand for household slicers across all regions is expected to continue growing on account of the growing base of affluent consumers and middle-class income groups, increasing the working population, and improving consumer lifestyle, which eventually results in the use of these tools. Young consumers who contribute majorly to the workforce population, people in western countries who are more inclined towards hosting dinner gatherings and backyard cooking during festive seasons are likely to accelerate the demand for such tools.

During the initial panic buying phase, consumers raced to stock up on toilet paper, frozen foods, disinfectant wipes, cleaning supplies, and other household necessities. In the weeks and months that followed, they turned their attention to appliances that aid in cooking, health, and wellness. With restaurants shut and food delivery considered unsafe due to coronavirus, an increasing number of consumers have begun cooking at home. This need-turned-trend of home-cooked food has augured well for the sale of kitchen household slicers among other kitchen utensils and cookware.

Product Insights

Manual slicers held the largest share of 73.6% in 2019. The increasing availability of products at a varied range of prices has been a major factor driving the segment. These products offer high accuracy, better control, and clean slicing of food products, such as vegetables and fruits. The growing interest in cooking shows, particularly among the younger generation, drives the demand for plain slicers so that they are well-equipped to cook at home. For instance, Hell’s Kitchen, Chopped, MasterChef, Top Chef Masters, and other cooking shows programmed on TV attract a lot of consumers and indirectly encourage them to opt for cooking on a regular basis and also persuade them to purchase good quality household slicers.

The automatic slicers are expected to register the fastest CAGR of 6.4% from 2020 to 2027. Economic development and the growing tourism industry are likely to augment the demand for automatic household slicers. A total of 1,500 new hotel construction projects in Europe were in pipeline, wherein by 2019, around 270 new hotels and resorts opened, having more than 38,000 new rooms. This is expected to have a positive impact on the segment growth as the hospitality sector focusses on providing more luxurious bedding sets in order to provide the utmost comfort and warmth.

Distribution Channel Insights

The offline channel of distribution led the market and accounted for a share of 85.4% in 2019. Increased prominence of retail store channels as they facilitate the consumers to have a first-hand look at the products, which helps in the easy inspection of the quality and specifications, is expected to boost the growth of the channel. 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. In addition, discounted prices and budget-friendly offers provided by retailers drive more customer footfall in these stores. Moreover, the availability of varied quality household slicers at a cheaper rate offered by local manufacturers is likely to attract a greater number of customers to supermarkets and hypermarkets. 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 forecast years with a CAGR of 6.8% from 2020 to 2027. Increasing internet penetration among the middle-class population, along with the rising use of smartphones and similar devices, is among the key reasons behind the growing popularity of online retail channels. Consumers are rapidly shifting towards the online mode of purchasing with the rise of e-commerce giants, such as Amazon, Alibaba, eBay, and JD.com. Observing this drastic shift in consumer preference from offline to online, several kitchen knife manufacturers are opting for direct-to-consumer sales to primarily sell their products and gain higher profit margins. Direct-to-consumer sales channels are also expected to strengthen brand relationships with customers by delivering high-quality products.

Regional Insights

North America held the largest share of 33.2% in 2019. The product demand in the region is majorly attributed to the increasing demand for stylish, sleek, and comfortable slicers. There has been a growing preference for slicers made from steel as these are easy to handle while slicing and they offer high durability. This trend will continue to drive innovation and new product development among players, thereby fueling market growth.

Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth during forecast years with a CAGR of 6.2% from 2020 to 2027. China, India, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and India are the prominent markets that pose a wide opportunity for the product in the upcoming years. Higher penetration and accessibility of utility slicers in the residential sectors of the region are compelling consumers to opt for low- and medium-priced products. However, the increasing willingness of consumers to invest in premium-quality traditional tools for experimenting with new cuisines is expected to drive the demand for the product in this region.
