Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The market was built upward from unit volumes and realised prices, not derived by scaling a published total. Annual grill shipment and retail sell-through volumes were estimated by fuel type (gas, charcoal, electric) and by price tier, then multiplied by average selling prices drawn from retailer listings across supermarkets, home improvement chains and online marketplaces. That bottom-up build was then checked against disclosed segment revenue from the publicly listed manufacturers in the competitive set, including reported outdoor cooking product sales where a company breaks it out separately from its wider appliance portfolio. Where the unit-and-price build diverged from a disclosed figure, the underlying volume or price assumption was revisited and corrected, since the disclosed revenue functions as a check on the build, not a separate total folded into it.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target commercial buyers and category managers at home improvement chains, mass retailers and specialty outdoor-living stores, since their purchase-order volumes and shelf-space decisions shape which products reach households at scale. The sample also includes procurement and product managers at grill manufacturers, component suppliers for burners and ignition systems, and operators at hospitality and catering businesses that buy grills for commercial kitchens. Geographic sampling emphasises North America and Europe, where outdoor cooking culture and retail data are most established, alongside a growing share of interviews in Asia Pacific manufacturing hubs where a large share of global grill production and component sourcing takes place.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on customs and trade data filed under HS code 7321 for cooking and heating appliances, which captures cross-border shipment volumes of grills and grill parts by country. National statistical agency data on household appliance spending and home improvement retail sales supplements this, alongside patent filings for grill and burner designs that indicate where product innovation is concentrated. Public company filings from the listed manufacturers in the competitive set, including their segment reporting and investor materials, anchor the revenue side. Trade association data from outdoor living and home improvement industry groups fills in retail channel and seasonal demand patterns that customs data alone does not show.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from expected growth in outdoor living space ownership, continued replacement demand as existing grills reach the end of their typical service life, and the pace at which electric and connected models displace charcoal in space-constrained households. Regulatory tightening on open-flame cooking in dense urban and multi-family developments is treated as a structural shift toward electric and gas formats rather than a temporary disruption. Pricing is assumed to trend upward in the premium and mid-range tiers as feature content increases, while economy-tier pricing stays comparatively flat. For the forecast to hold, outdoor living spending needs to keep growing at a pace close to its recent trend, without a sustained pullback in discretionary home improvement budgets.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Historical output for 2020 through 2024 was checked against recorded retail sales and shipment data for those years to confirm the build reproduces observed growth before it is extended into a forecast. Segment share shifts, particularly the move toward electric grills and toward online retail, were reviewed against category manager and retailer feedback gathered in primary interviews to confirm the direction and pace are consistent with what buyers and sellers are actually seeing. Sensitivities were tested on the pace of urban open-flame restrictions and on raw material cost pass-through to retail prices, since both affect how quickly the forecast tiers shift relative to the base case.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest in the gas and residential segments, where retail sell-through data and public company disclosures are most complete, and in North America and Europe, where outdoor living retail channels are well documented. It is weaker in the electric grill segment and in parts of Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East and Africa, where fewer manufacturers report segment-level detail and informal or unbranded retail channels carry a meaningful share of sales. A shift in regulatory treatment of open-flame cooking in dense urban markets, or a faster-than-expected move to electric formats, are the structural risks most likely to force a revision of this estimate.
