Global grill and barbecue market- statistics & facts
Barbecuing has long been a popular way to enjoy food socially. Firing up the grill, barbie, or skottelbraai on a hot summer night is a popular pastime almost everywhere on the planet. People have been grilling meat, fish, and vegetables since the dawn of mankind, and studies show that this is not about to change. Two recent developments are changing the BBQ market profoundly. Firstly, the pandemic put a great strain on social gatherings, meaning that barbecuing was enjoyed differently. People indicated that they grilled in smaller groups during the pandemic summers. In the meantime, the grill and roaster sales skyrocketed, which is in line with the retail sales increase in the wider domestic appliances and home furnishings industry. Secondly, meat alternatives are taking over on grills everywhere, caused by increased environmental concern and the better-for-you movement.
