2026 Global Barbecue Market Outlook: "Smart Grilling" and "Outdoor Kitchens" to Drive Industry Growth to $8.85 Billion by 2034

According to the latest industry forecasts for 2026 released by major analysts (including Fortune Business Insights and Mordor Intelligence), the global barbecue grill market is entering a new phase of technological integration. The market is projected to grow steadily, driven primarily by two key trends in 2026: the "Smart Grilling Revolution" and the expansion of "Outdoor Living Spaces."

The reports highlight that in 2026, consumers are no longer just buying standalone grills but are investing in modular outdoor kitchens. Furthermore, AI-powered cooking assistants and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity are becoming standard features rather than luxury add-ons. The demand for eco-friendly fuels (such as sustainable pellets and electric options) is also identified as a critical growth vector for the European and North American markets.
