Electric Lunch Box Market

Electric Lunch Box Market: Overview

The market size for electric lunch box was USD XX million in 2021, and during the projection period, it is expected to increase at an 8.5 percent CAGR. The demand for the electric lunch box market is increasing as more people become aware of its convenience. The demand for electric lunch boxes is driven by the increase in food carriers for businesses, schools, and travel. Over the post-lockdown period, trips longer than 500 miles were taken on around 1.25 million occasions in the US. Rising health concerns have prompted city dwellers to eat more home-cooked meals, another reason fostering the market's expansion. Additionally, the capacity of an electric lunch box to serve warm meals in a relatively portable manner is likely to fascinate many customers, particularly frequent travelers and employees, which will further accelerate the expansion of the electric lunch box market.

In addition, lunch boxes offer other features like liquid-tight, freezer-safe, dishwasher-safe, airtight, insulated, and microwave safe. Therefore, it is anticipated that product innovation would be a key part of market development for lunch boxes and lunch bags. More lunch bag sellers are implementing the omnichannel strategy to appeal to the tech-savvy millennial market. Although many millennials and members of Generation Z choose to purchase in-store, they exhibited significantly more interest in hybrid buying techniques, at rates of 30 and 36 percent, respectively. This strategy aims to seamlessly integrate customers' buying experiences across several channels, including brick-and-mortar stores and internet channels.

Additionally, consumers' shifting preferences for electrical goods and ongoing technical advancements will open up the attractive potential for market expansion. It is expected that technical advancements in manufacturing lightweight polymers as rust-free alternatives for metals would boost the client base in the future. In February 2020, Kobwa announced the release of its electric lunch box, which not only heats food but also has the steaming capacity to prepare a full meal.
