STABENNI 2025 Global Stainless Steel Kitchenware Industry Explodes with New Opportunities: From Policy Compliance to Technological Innovation, How Chinese Enterprises Can Grab the Lead
Release time:2025-07-30
2025, the global stainless steel kitchenware industry is experiencing structural changes: from the full implementation of the European Union's carbon tariff (CBAM) to the explosive growth of the Southeast Asian market, from the popularization of anti-bacterial technology to the iteration of intelligent temperature-controlled products, the focus of competition in the industry has shifted from pure cost advantage to the dual competition of technological barriers and green certification. As a pioneering enterprise in the B2B field of China's stainless steel kitchenware foreign trade, we have a deep insight into the pulse of the industry, combined with the latest developments and our own advantages, to bring you in-depth interpretation and product solutions.
Quick Overview of Industry Dynamics: Two-Way Driving of Policy and Market
1. International Exhibition Releases Signal of Innovation
On July 24-26, 2025, the 118th Shanghai Department Store, with an exhibition scale of 200,000 square meters, gathered more than 5,000 brands and became the core platform for the debut of new products of global stainless steel cookware. Demand for high-end products with intelligent functions (such as remote temperature control) and stylish designs surged, and innovative technologies such as anti-bacterial coatings and nano-materials became the focus of the show. It is worth noting that China is the largest producer and consumer of stainless steel cookware with a 45.67% share of the global market, and the export value is expected to reach RMB 24 billion, with the U.S., the EU and Southeast Asia as the core markets.
2. Policy compliance upgrades force technological innovation
The EU REACH regulation on stainless steel cookware testing requirements continue to tighten, in 2025 the EU Customs monthly average of about 1,200 batches of non-compliant products seized, non-compliant companies face a maximum of 38,000 euros in fines and the value of goods 5-8 times the loss of brand. Meanwhile, the EU's Carbon Border Tax (CBAM) has been formally implemented, requiring exporters to provide carbon footprint data for the entire life cycle of their products, which puts higher demands on the low-carbon production capacity of Chinese companies. For example, TISCO has achieved a 90% scrap-to-steel ratio and a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions through its short-flow smelting process, and has received international RC/RCS dual certification, providing a model for dealing with the carbon tariff.
3. Rise of emerging markets and transformation of traditional markets
The Southeast Asian market is growing at a significant rate, with imports expected to grow by 15% by 2025, making it an important growth pole for Chinese companies. In contrast, the U.S. market is under pressure due to tariff adjustments (combined rate of 45%), but there are still structural opportunities - for example, exports of stainless steel dining tables, kitchen utensils and their parts, which have not been subject to tariffs, are up 29.8% year-on-year. Enterprises need to flexibly adjust their market strategies to reduce the impact of trade barriers through cross-border e-commerce and overseas warehousing.
The stainless steel kitchenware industry in 2025 is a year of challenges and opportunities. With technological innovation as the engine, compliance certification as the shield, and customized services as the sharp edge, we will continue to lead in the global market.
