The Europe Microwave Oven Market size is estimated at USD 2.96 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 3.65 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.25% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
Due to evolving consumer lifestyles, rising disposable incomes, and technological improvements, the microwave oven market in Europe has experienced significant expansion in recent years. With its ease of use and effectiveness in food preparation, microwave ovens have become a necessary kitchen tool. Given that appliances like microwave ovens handle most of the food preparation in the region, European consumers demand high efficiency from electronic cooking systems.
Technological developments in microwave ovens have resulted in models featuring grill and convection functions. This broadens the range of culinary options and clarifies the myth that microwave ovens are only for reheating food. Users can now bake, roast, and grill. Traditional microwaves heat food unevenly using an on/off cycle to control power. Inverter technology makes continuous power flow possible, resulting in more accurate and reliable cooking. High-end microwave models are increasingly using this innovation. Sensor cooking technology can automatically adjust cooking periods and power levels by using sensors to measure moisture content and oven temperature. This guarantees the best outcomes, especially when heating up or preparing delicate dishes.
