The kitchen utensils industry has always accounted for a high proportion of stainless steel consumption, and the consumption of stainless steel continues to grow every year. The kitchen utensils industry plays a pivotal role in the development of the stainless steel industry.



According to incomplete survey data, the use of stainless steel in China's kitchen and kitchen industry will reach 2.4 million tons in 2021, an increase of more than 10% year-on-year. It is expected that the use of stainless steel in China's kitchen and kitchen industry will reach more than 2.5 million tons in 2022, and the consumption growth rate will be 4.5 %, and the growth rate is more than 100,000 tons.




According to the survey, there are currently more than 1,300 enterprises of a certain scale in China's stainless steel tableware and kitchenware industry, with more than 300 types of products. Among them, well-known brands include Lingfeng, Zwilling, Futengbao, Supor, Astar, and Robam. According to the material, kitchen utensils mainly include stainless steel kitchen utensils, aluminum kitchen utensils, iron kitchen utensils and porcelain kitchen utensils, among which stainless steel kitchen utensils account for about 40%. Kitchen utensils of other materials are easy to rust and difficult to clean. Other characteristics, the development space is limited, and it has been gradually replaced by stainless steel kitchen utensils in recent years.




Zhejiang Province is one of the most important kitchen and kitchenware industry bases in China. Recently, we have conducted research and exchanges on the use of stainless steel by kitchen and kitchenware enterprises in Zhejiang Province. Small and medium-sized enterprises purchase stainless steel plates, and large enterprises purchase stainless steel coils and process them by themselves. Some integrated stove factories do processing for big brands such as Haier, Oupai, Jiumu and Deyi, and charge processing fees. The Haining area of Zhejiang is mainly based on kitchen appliances, producing electric appliance accessories such as rice cookers and electric pressure cookers, which are directly supplied to Supor and Philips. They are mainly using 304 materials, and high-end materials such as Zhangpu materials, Baoxin BA materials, and TISCO DQ materials ; High requirements for stainless steel surface, no scratches and blisters, so as to avoid high repair costs in the later stage; 90% of the coils are directly punched, and 0.4mm and 0.5mm directly set the width of 1130mm. The consumption is 300-1000 tons; the purchase of fixed-length sheets accounts for 10%, and the purchase of coiled materials accounts for 90%, and imported film is attached.



Regarding the development prospects of kitchen utensils in the third quarter, relevant personnel of kitchen utensils companies believe that the short-term increase in the purchase of stainless steel is relatively limited, and the demand for stainless steel in the kitchen and kitchen industry will decline in July, August and September. The demand for 0.4mm and 0.5mm stainless steel coils of 201, 304 and 430 materials is relatively large, while the demand for 1.0mm and 2.0mm is relatively small, and the use of 316L material may increase. In general, relevant personnel of kitchen and kitchenware enterprises believe that with the improvement of people's living standards, the stainless steel tableware and kitchenware industry still has a large space for development, and the demand for stainless steel materials will continue to increase.
