Small kitchen appliance sales statistics: global market value
Global retail value for small kitchen appliances moved upward overall from 2020 to 2024, though the series was not a straight climb. It started at $66.6 billion in 2020, rose to $71.9 billion in 2021, then eased to $70.1 billion in 2022. The market value increased again to $71.6 billion in 2023 and $74.1 billion in 2024. For the full 2020–2024 period, the report gives a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7%. These are historical retail-value figures, not unit counts or forecasts.

The figures describe the global small kitchen-appliance segment in the cited industry presentation. They should not be compared directly with national figures below: those reports use different market definitions, currencies, and reporting periods.
Small kitchen appliance sales statistics: U.S. retail categories
U.S. retail sales data for the 12 months ending December 2025 put total kitchen electrics at $13.84 billion, up 4.1% compared with the prior year. Within that classification, heating appliances had the largest listed total at $4.94 billion, but their reported year-over-year increase was 1.0%. Coffee and espresso appliances generated $3.06 billion, up 6.1%. Source: IHA, Mapping the Home + Housewares Opportunity, p. 2
| U.S. kitchen-electrics category | Retail sales, 12 months ending Dec. 2025 | Change vs. 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Total kitchen electrics | $13.84 billion | +4.1% |
| Heating appliances | $4.94 billion | +1.0% |
| Coffee/espresso | $3.06 billion | +6.1% |
| All other kitchen electrics | $3.23 billion | +7.7% |
| Blending/processing/mixing | $2.61 billion | +3.6% |
These totals are retail dollar sales in Circana/Checkout’s kitchen-electrics classification. The categories shown are the report’s labels; “all other kitchen electrics” is a separate line, so readers should not assume it maps to one specific appliance type. By growth rate among the listed groups, all other kitchen electrics rose fastest, while heating appliances grew slowest. The source reports value changes, not how many units were sold.
Small kitchen appliance sales statistics: France market totals
France’s broader small-appliance market sold 53.5 million products in 2024 and recorded €4.03 billion in turnover, based on NielsenIQ-GfK sales data reported by Gifam. Market value rose 8% compared with 2023. The headline covers small appliances overall, rather than kitchen products alone, so it provides national context but is not a kitchen-appliance-only sales total.

Within the French small-appliance market, culinary-preparation appliances represented 7% of value and edged down 0.9% in value during 2024. Breakfast appliances, the second-largest small-appliance family in the report, accounted for 16% of value and declined 2.1%. Those shares use the value of the overall small-appliance market as their reference, not the number of units sold.
Small kitchen appliance sales statistics: France product trends
The French product figures show marked differences between cooking and preparation categories. Air fryers sold more than 2.6 million units in 2024; the report says sales doubled and value increased 140% versus 2023. The broader cooking-food appliance category grew 24.4% in value. The air-fryer unit total and its value growth measure different things, so the increase in sales value should not be read as a matching increase in unit volume.

Inside culinary preparation, several traditional products also gained value: blender sales rose 11.3%, mini-choppers 19.2%, and beaters 8% in 2024. These gains occurred while the culinary-preparation category overall was down 0.9% in value. The category total and individual product trends can therefore move in different directions: growth in selected products does not mean every product in the category grew or that the whole category expanded.
Small kitchen appliance sales statistics: Poland market size and shares
Poland’s small-household-appliance market was estimated at about PLN 5.5 billion in 2024, with value growth of approximately 16%. The report also says about 13 million appliances in the segment were sold annually, without assigning that unit figure to a specific calendar year. These are figures for small household appliances broadly, which include products beyond kitchen equipment. Source: APPLiA, Home Appliance Market Report 2024, p. 15
The report’s value-share graphic breaks the Polish market into product groups. Coffee makers represented 23% of small-home-appliance sales value, while food processors accounted for 20%. Vacuum cleaners also had a 23% share, putting coffee makers and vacuum cleaners together at about half of market value. The remaining displayed shares were hair and beauty, 10%; toasters, grills, and fryers, 6%; ironing, 5%; kettles, 3%; and other products, 10%.
| Poland small-appliance category | Share of market value |
|---|---|
| Coffee makers | 23% |
| Food processors | 20% |
| Toasters, grills, fryers | 6% |
| Kettles | 3% |
The selected kitchen-related categories above are part of the full small-home-appliance mix; their shares should not be treated as shares of a kitchen-only market. The report’s combined figure for coffee makers and vacuum cleaners is approximately 50%, consistent with the two displayed shares totaling 46% after rounding and category presentation.
Small kitchen appliance sales statistics: Poland product sales
In Poland, coffee-maker sales volume grew 16% in 2024. Air fryers also gained ground: more than 400,000 units were sold, twice the prior year’s volume according to the report. Battery vacuum-cleaner sales volume increased 30%. These are product-specific volume changes, distinct from the market’s approximately 16% growth in value.

The report notes that ironing equipment—including irons, steam generators, and steamers—exceeded 1 million units sold in 2024. Built-in coffee makers were an exception among the cited product trends: both their volume and value fell 9%. Taken together, the product data point to a varied market rather than uniform growth across every appliance type. The figures cover Poland’s small-household-appliance segment, and the report does not state an exact calendar year for its estimate of roughly 13 million annual units.
