BBQ & Outdoor Cooking Stores in the US - Industry Market Research Report

BBQ & Outdoor Cooking Stores

The BBQ and Outdoor Cooking Stores industry has been rekindled over the past five years. Rising per capita disposable income and stagnant leisure time have revived discretionary purchases on outdoor cooking equipment such as barbecues (BBQs), smokers and related accessories. As the economy improves, consumers are more likely to purchase new equipment to replace the aging equipment that they already own, or purchase secondhand items. Big-box retailers, such as Home Depot, Costco and Lowe's, account for the largest share of industry revenue. However, rising incomes and a larger market for luxury goods have enticed many new niche businesses into the industry. Over the next five years, increasing per capita disposable income is expected to bolster demand for BBQ and outdoor cooking equipment.


Operators in this industry retail barbecue grills and related accessories. A limited number of retailers only sell barbeque equipment and, as a result, home improvement stores, department stores and supercenters sell the majority of industry goods. Stores that sell equipment exclusively online are excluded from the industry.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
