Commissioned by the Dutch Spark for Clean Cooking Solutions—a network of Dutch organisations working to accelerate the clean cooking transition—the study ‘Market Analysis of E-Cooking Solutions’ was carried out by FOUNT CIC. It explores the potential of e-cooking in emerging markets, examining market opportunities, key barriers, and business models. It also considers how e-cooking can complement other clean cooking solutions in diverse local contexts.
The global clean cooking market is diverse, encompassing a range of technologies from traditional improved biomass stoves to modern electric cooking appliances. While e-cooking solutions, including electric pressure cookers (EPCs) and induction stoves, represent a smaller share of the market today, their adoption is rapidly growing due to the increasing availability of electricity through grid, mini-grid, and off-grid solar systems. E-cooking is emerging as a viable alternative, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas with reliable electricity.
Insights from the study guide the Dutch Spark and its network of stakeholders—including policymakers, financiers, and development organizations—in crafting effective strategies to accelerate the adoption of clean cooking technologies and achieve impactful energy transitions.
