Commercial kitchen equipment must develop in multiple directions.

With the vigorous development of our country's economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the demand for food quality is also increasing, and the market demand for commercial kitchen equipment is also rising sharply, showing a linear upward trend. As an important field closely related to everyone's diet, commercial kitchen equipment serves as an important "weapon" in the catering industry, and its development space is extremely broad.

With the continuous progress of society and the constant upgrading of technology, the demand levels of people are continuously improving, and the commercial kitchen equipment industry is gradually becoming a sunrise industry in our country. It has been developing since the 1980s, with a history of nearly thirty years, and technological innovation has driven the overall upgrade of the commercial kitchen equipment industry. Currently, stainless steel kitchen equipment has entered the industrial upgrade stage under the promotion of new technologies, with market demand for products changing rapidly, and users have raised higher requirements for product functionality, energy saving, design, and other aspects.

This also requires commercial kitchen equipment to develop in multiple directions: concepts such as safety, energy saving, low carbon, and environmental protection have prompted kitchenware products to shift from simple practicality and meeting basic needs to pursuing health, intelligence, and functionality; product structures are continuously evolving towards aesthetics, environmental protection, fashion, and low energy consumption.

As the living standards of the public continue to improve, the demands for catering are also showing increasingly diverse needs, and the commercial kitchen equipment industry is undergoing a subtle revolution. This has led to the most important infrastructure in military, educational institutions, restaurants, hotels, and canteens, namely commercial kitchen equipment, also needing to develop in multiple directions—this development can be summarized as follows:

1. Improvement of product quality

In the early days of our country (from the 1960s to the 1990s), the technology of commercial kitchen equipment did not make fundamental progress, and the quality was uneven. Since the products were mainly used in the back kitchen, the buyers' requirements for the equipment only focused on "being usable"; the core technologies were mainly cold stamping, general mold making, and manual surface treatment, with very low technological content.

However, as customers' requirements for cleanliness have increased, and with the popularity of open kitchens (where the open kitchen is directly visible in the restaurant or dining area, allowing customers to have a clearer understanding of the food preparation process to showcase the cleanliness of food processing), the emergence of new high-tech cooking utensils not only meets the requirements for kitchen environmental protection and improved cooking environments but, more importantly, it increases the technological content, emphasizes humanized needs, and makes cooking simple, convenient, and easy. The quality requirements for commercial kitchen equipment have added "simplicity and aesthetics" to the original basis of "being usable and durable," which has raised higher demands for the design and production of commercial kitchen equipment.

2. Increase in overall market volume

According to data, in 2015, the market size of China's kitchenware industry reached 160 billion yuan, and long-term forecasts indicate a continuous upward trend. So far, the main markets for global commercial kitchen equipment are concentrated in developed countries and regions such as the United States, Japan, and Europe. With the rise of the "Internet +" concept in China's industry, it is expected to gain a larger market share in the future.

For the commercial kitchen equipment industry, whether it is "Internet +" or "intelligentization," they are merely tools for enhancing competitiveness in the market. How the future unfolds depends on the thousands of commercial kitchen equipment manufacturers; only by taking the initiative can they lead the industry development and not be left behind by the times. The manufacturing industry of commercial kitchen equipment in our country has achieved rapid growth under the overall growth environment of the catering market. According to the "Commercial Kitchenware Market Forecast and Investment Strategy Report (2019 Edition)," the global market size for commercial kitchen equipment was 28.15 billion USD in 2010, grew to 35.74 billion USD in 2013, reached 38.02 billion USD in 2014, and by 2018, the global market size for commercial kitchen equipment reached 48.9 billion USD, which is the most exciting data for manufacturers of commercial kitchen equipment.

3. Improvement of service quality

With consumers becoming increasingly rational and the diminishing impact of price wars, the service concept has risen to a new height. Simply put, without good pre-sale and after-sale service, it is difficult to facilitate a successful transaction, and shopping disputes often arise from this.

For the catering industry, commercial kitchen equipment is the engine of a restaurant, so when modern kitchenware malfunctions, it raises higher demands for the speed of service response and repair capabilities. As manufacturers of commercial kitchen equipment, in addition to providing better products, whether they can offer after-sale service that reassures and satisfies customers has also become a decisive factor for enterprises to stand out in the market. Therefore, whether commercial kitchen equipment companies can provide good after-sale service has become a powerful weapon for enterprises to occupy the market.

4. Multi-functional products are further accepted by the market

Commercial kitchenware characterized by multi-functionality and simple operation is continuously being accepted by the market. This intelligent commercial kitchen equipment has been widely popularized in some developed countries. For example, in Japan, a single machine can correspond to various cooking methods such as "baking," "steaming," "boiling," "simmering," and "stir-frying," and the sales of universal steam ovens are quite hot. The reason is the increasing demand for high-quality dishes that can be made without technical skills and the precision required for temperature management. In the past, such universal steam ovens were generally aimed at large-scale cooking for hotels or restaurants, but small-scale specialty stores and chain stores are also gradually starting to introduce them, especially new stores, where the introduction rate of universal steam ovens is quite high. Currently, high-quality universal steam ovens in our country are still limited to a few foreign brands and a few mature domestic brands, so it can be seen that there is still great potential in this market segment.

The application of high-tech has permeated various aspects of design, material selection, and manufacturing in this industry, greatly enhancing product added value, extending product life cycles, meeting customer needs, and thus driving the overall profit increase of the industry, injecting eternal vitality into the continuous development and innovation of the kitchenware industry.
