The Future of the Kitchen Products Market in the BRIC Countries: Key Trends, Drivers, Opportunities and Challenges to 2016

The growth of construction in both the residential and hospitality sectors should see demand for kitchen products increase, and the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games are expected to drive the hospitality, retail and leisure sectors, which will also support the market in Brazil. Moreover, the rapid growth in urbanization is expected to increase the demand for kitchen furniture, taps, mixers and sinks in the Brazilian residential sector. The size of the average family in Brazil is reducing, which is also expected to increase demand for kitchen products.

Russia will host major sporting events such as the 2014 Winter Olympic Games and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Consequently, the construction of various sectors including residential and hospitality sectors should increase driving the demand for kitchen products. The retail boom in Russia, which slowed following the global financial crisis, has returned in some major cities, and the most dynamic retail market in Russia is currently St Petersburg. This growth in the retail market is encouraging consumers to buy more kitchen products.

The modular kitchen market in India is expected to continue to record significant growth over the forecast period. The growth is primarily attributed to an increase in the number of housing projects, rising disposable incomes, changes in lifestyle and the emergence of nuclear families. Products are also expected to become more affordable with a variety of pricing options, and growth in the organized retail sector, changing perspectives on home aesthetics, increased incomes and a rise in the number of working women are also expected to drive growth.

The concept of the compact kitchen is gaining popularity among Chinese consumers. Numerous international businesses from countries such as Germany, Italy and Denmark have entered the Chinese market over the past few years, particularly in the kitchen furniture market. The high prices and fashionable, unconventional designs of these imported products make them more popular in the premium segment of the market.
