The global electric ranges market size is anticipated to reach USD 37.59 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is experiencing growth due to rising consumer demand for energy-efficient appliances and heightened awareness of environmental sustainability. Advances in cooking technology, along with the integration of smart home features, are making electric ranges increasingly attractive to urban consumers.
A 2023 Climate Nexus survey indicates a near split in preferences, with 43% of American adults favoring gas stoves and 42% preferring electric. However, there is considerable public concern over gas stove safety and strong support for regulations addressing the risks of methane emissions. This evolving sentiment is likely to drive consumers toward electric ranges as they seek safer, more sustainable cooking options.
The market is governed by several key regulations aimed at ensuring safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency. UL 858 sets standards for maximum surface temperatures of ovens, handles, and knobs to prevent burns and fires. The ADA/ANSI and UFAS regulations mandate that controls must be reachable and operable with one hand, enhancing accessibility for all users.
Additionally, electric ranges must comply with electrical requirements that necessitate a dedicated circuit, typically a 50-amp, 240-volt setup. The Inflation Reduction Act provides funding for state-level rebates on electric appliance purchases, encouraging consumers to upgrade to energy-efficient models.
A 2022 report by Consumer Reports highlights that electric ranges typically outshine gas models in key cooking performance areas, such as high and low heat, with nearly half of electric smooth top ranges earning excellent ratings-none for gas. While gas ranges excel in baking, electric models take the lead in broiling, with over half receiving very good ratings. This performance disparity, alongside growing concerns about health risks and environmental issues related to gas stoves, such as methane emissions, is driving a consumer shift toward electric ranges. As awareness of these concerns increases, the electric ranges industry is poised for substantial growth.
The Asia Pacific electric ranges market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2024 to 2030, fueled by rapid urbanization and increasing disposable incomes in key countries like India and China. As more households gain access to electricity and modern cooking appliances, the demand for electric ranges continues to rise. Furthermore, a heightened awareness of energy efficiency and environmental issues is encouraging consumers in these regions to transition from traditional cooking methods to electric options, enhancing the appeal of electric ranges in the market.
