According to Retail Tracking Service data from The NPD Group, the outdoor cooking industry’s revenue grew 14% to $6.1 billion in 2021. An increased grilling season and constraints from the pandemic were given as reasons for the uptick in the industry. Pellet grills led the way with more than 1 million units sold and a 38% increase in revenue, but nearly all types of grills saw increases.

In the grills and smokers segment, gas grills saw their revenue market share drop from 44% to 39% with pellet grills increasing market share to end up at 18%. Grill accessories and fuel also saw an increase year-over-year, with a 4% revenue improvement over 2020.  Grilling fuel momentum increased towards the end of the year with the fourth quarter seeing a 9% increase in revenue.
