Cookware

Article Abstract:

The UK retail market for cookware has grown by 18% in real terms in 1991-96, and was worth around 334 million pounds sterling in 1995. Vessel cookware accounted for 84% of the 1995 market by value and 79% by volume. The strong growth in the market during this period is due to factors including greater interest in cooking as a hobby, healthy eating and foreign foods: this has led consumers to trade up. Premium products, for example stainless steel, have also benefitted from more discerning consumer attitudes. However, future growth may be limited by demographic trends.
