Implications - Convenience has become the mantra when it comes to modern-day cooking innovations, and portable grilling stations stand to meet this growing consumer need.

Trend Themes
1. Portable Grilling Stations - Portable grilling stations are providing on-the-go consumers with portability, easy use and convenience.
2. Communal Outdoor Cooktops - Communal outdoor cooktops extend mealtime social circles and encourage friendly food prep.
3. Expandable Cooking Containers - Expandable cooking containers enable consumers to prepare more meals than traditional pots or pans.
Industry Implications

2. Home Appliance Industry - The home appliance industry can leverage the trend of expandable cooking containers to offer more versatile and adaptable cooking containers to consumers.
