Market Insights: Why Demand Is Accelerating

Japan’s compact urban living spaces are driving a clear preference for built-in hobs that blend seamlessly with countertops, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Kitchen planners prioritize flush-mounted designs that maximize workspace—a must-have in metropolitan condominiums and modern detached homes. The widespread shift from gas cooktops to electric and induction hobs is motivated by safety, energy efficiency, and smart connectivity features.

Established manufacturers such as BSH Hausgeräte GmbH and Miele & Cie.
