While overall kitchen and household order revenue remains below last year’s levels, the latest Consumer Goods Market Monitor from Conzoom Solutions shows pockets of real momentum — barbecue products are climbing in online retail, and cutlery and drinking glasses are gaining ground in specialist retail. For manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers planning assortments into 2027, the data suggests where to look first.

The quarterly report tracks sales channels and product groups in the kitchen and household segment, drawing on B2B order and transaction data from specialist retail, retail and online retail channels, processed about four weeks after each quarter ends. Conzoom Solutions is the industry data hub for Messe Frankfurt‘s consumer goods fairs.

“Through the regularly published Consumer Goods Market Monitor, we provide the industry with current data to support well-informed decisions,” said Julia Uherek, vice president of Consumer Goods Fairs at Messe Frankfurt. “We aim to help companies identify opportunities at an early stage.”

What the Latest Data Shows

The Q2 2026 edition, published in mid-August, points to a gradual stabilization in the consumer goods market. Order revenue was down 4.5 percent year-over-year, but improved markedly compared with Q1. By category, barbecue products performed well in online retail, while cutlery and drinking glasses saw gains in specialty retail.

The Consumer Goods Market Monitor launched in Q3 2025. The next edition, covering Q3 2026 data, is due in mid-November and will be available through Conzoom Solutions.
