Commercial Microwave Ovens Market Snapshot (2023 to 2033)

The global commercial microwave ovens market is expected to be worth USD 2,137 million in 2023. Future Market Insights reports say that the market will expand at a projected to grow at CAGR of 4.3% between 2023 and 2033, totaling around USD 3,263.3 million by 2033.

Commercial kitchens, such as those found in full-service and quick-service restaurants, hotels, and hospitals, are intense energy users, consuming as much as three times more energy per square foot than most other types of commercial buildings.

Energy costs for these facilities typically account for around 25%-30% of the total operating expenses, upgrading equipment to be more energy-efficient can increase the bottom-line revenues while also providing significant non-energy benefits, including improved operating performance, more uniform cooking, and increased comfort of the kitchen staff. Commercial kitchen equipment, such as ovens, require energy to function. By purchasing energy-efficient equipment in new constructions or when existing equipment fails, one can significantly reduce the energy used in the kitchen, save money, and reduce the carbon footprint.

High energy consumption by microwaves acts as one of the restraining factors for the growth of the global microwave oven market. High electricity cost limits the use of such appliances for household purposes in many regions. Commercial microwave ovens consume huge amounts of electricity as they are used for prolonged hours. Companies are offering innovative microwave ovens, which consume less energy for cooking food faster and more efficiently.

The need for energy-efficient kitchen appliances and the rise in demand for smart appliances are factors that are boosting the commercial microwave ovens market where North America is a major revenue contributor to the global microwave oven market. Asia Pacific is projected to witness impressive growth in the microwave oven market during the forecast period.

Brief Assessment of Challenges Impacting the Market

Radiation and Insulation Issues in Commercial Microwave Ovens are Major Hindrances to the Commercial Microwave Oven Market Growth.

Exposure to high levels of microwaves while cooking can cause a painful burn to operators. In the human body, the eyes and testes are vulnerable to radiofrequency heating. Little blood flow in the eyes and testes to carry away excess heat. The lens of the eyes is also sensitive to intense heat, and exposure to high levels of microwaves can cause cataracts.

Operators can get injured due to heat-related burns that could occur from holding or touching hot containers and from hot food products. Radiation injuries can also be caused by radiation leaks through openings in commercial microwave oven seals. Improper handling of commercial microwave oven doors can cause the insulation of the door seal to loosen.

Loosening of the insulation can lead to an increase in the time taken for heating foods. Loosening of the insulation also causes the heat inside the commercial microwave oven chamber to leak, which affects the time required for heating food products resulting in an increase in the energy cost. Inconsistency in cooking can lead to food wastage, leading to incurring excess costs for food service establishments.

Overview of Key Trends Shaping the Market 

Rise in Convenience Food Consumption Due to a Shift in Lifestyles.

The market is experiencing a rise in convenience food consumption due to a shift in lifestyles leading to a significant increase in market growth. There are many factors driving the market growth.

Outlook of Key Leading Applications in the Market

Dual Magnetron is a Major Trend Influencing the Commercial Microwave Oven Market Growth.

Commercial microwave ovens contain magnetron tubes. Magnetron is an electron that is used to produce the required microwave energy to heat food products. Manufacturers, such as SUMMIT APPLIANCE and SAMSUNG, offer commercial microwave ovens that feature dual magnetron to ensure faster operations compared with commercial microwave ovens that work on a single magnetron.

SUMMIT APPLIANCE offers commercial microwave ovens that feature dual magnetron. Equipment features an overall power output of 1,800 W. Commercial microwave ovens can use single magnetrons or double magnetrons to heat food products. In single magnetron mode, food service establishments can save power. Double magnetron mode, the appliance requires less time to heat food products compared to that in the single magnetron mode. Default setting for commercial microwave ovens is a dual magnetron, and the operator can switch to a single magnetron when required.
