The tableware, kitchenware and other household articles market in the EU

The CBI market survey on the EU market for tableware, kitchenware and other household articles shows that, despite the global economic crisis, there are still opportunities for DC exporters in the EU market. The middle-high market segment provides opportunities; consumers are increasingly turning away from mass production tableware from China. EU consumers want to distinguish themselves, so products need to be unique and innovative, and according to the latest fashion trends. One of these trends in the increasing popularity of natural materials, such as bamboo and wood.

This CBI survey provides information on consumption, production & trade (market sizes and trends), trade channels for market entry, prices, market access requirements and business practices & sales promotion. More detailed information – including websites of buyers and trade fairs – can be found in the related surveys on individual Member States.
