Charcoal Starters Market Analysis:

The market for charcoal starters is experiencing steady growth, driven by continual technological advancements and growing retail and online sales channels. According to the study done by Statista on the usage of charcoal in the United States from 2011 to 2020 and a forecast thereof until 2024, 105.55 million Americans used charcoal in 2020. This figure is projected to increase to 107.88 million in 2024. The data has been calculated by Statista based on the U.S. Census data and Simmons National Consumer Survey (NHCS).

Charcoal starters are available in various formats, making it easy for consumers to purchase the type that best suits their needs. They are easily available in supermarkets, hypermarkets, specialty stores, and online platforms, offering convenience and accessibility to shoppers.

Innovations in product design and function have helped in the evolution of integrated, user-friendly, and safer products. Modern charcoal starters have the added advantage of quick ignition time, reduced smoke emissions, extended burn times plus the mantle of user convenience and efficiency. Technological improvements such as electric charcoal starters and lighter cubes are among the most convenient and dependable for BBQ for those who may not know traditional skills or who are urban and semi-urban people.

Charcoal Starters Market Trends:

Environmental Awareness and Shift to Sustainable Products

The augmenting demand for green charcoal starters is influenced by environmental awareness among the consumer which caused the shift towards environmentally friendly and sustainable products. While the world become more aware of global environmental problems like deforestation and pollution, consumers are now adopting the charcoal starter which offers the least environmental impact. This trend also is based on the increase in the range of items that use natural and organic ingredients that are considered to be safer and greener than conventional artificial starters. Producers are responding to consumers' demand by starting the invention of starters from natural materials like wood chips, wax, and sawdust, both of which meet environmental regulations and appeal to eco-friendly consumers. According to a study done by Kodji Ez´echiel et, 2023, a survey shows that 96% of these households use plastics for igniting solid fuels, emitting an estimated 15,314 tons of CO2 equivalent annually. To combat this, ecological fire starters (EFS) made from sawdust and vegetable oils have been introduced. These EFS have a lower heating value ranging from 25.127 ± 0.026 to 31.914 ± 0.810 MJ/kg and require just 10 g per day per household. The region produced 1000 tons of EFS in 2022, meeting most of its needs of 894 tons. Annually, households spend between $5.5 and $7 on EFS. Promoting EFS in developing regions could reduce health risks and environmental impact while addressing plastic waste recovery.

Increase in Outdoor Cooking and Recreational Activities

Outdoor cooking and recreational activities with growing trends are the fundamental factors that fuel the growth of the charcoal starters market. With the rise of the fashion for camping and picnics, the demand for charcoal starters also grew accordingly. Outdoor cooking, particularly grilling and barbecuing, has gained popularity as a recreational activity in many regions such as north America and Europe. This tendency is underlined by the fact that people spend more on supplies and accessories for outdoor living at the expense of the sales of charcoal starters. The convenience, mobility, and speed of modern charcoal starters make them an excellent addition to these settings, where fast setup and cleanup are needed.
