BBQ charcoal is a solid fuel used for grilling and barbecuing and is prepared by pyrolysis, whereby wood or other biomass materials are heated in the absence of air until the volatile compounds are removed to leave a very porous carbon structure. Among all other fuels, it is appreciated for its high energy density, maintaining consistent heat, and producing less smoke. The major types are lump charcoal and briquettes: the lump charcoal contains chunks of charred wood, and the briquettes comprise uniform compressed blocks from charcoal dust with binders and additives. This is an effective fuel, considered crucial for outdoor cooking, while it ensures that high temperatures are achieved and helps produce the type of smoked flavor associated with grilled food.

Market Dynamics

The BBQ charcoal market is experiencing significant growth driven by growing outdoor grilling interest among consumers, the evolution of lifestyles, and the increasing interest in cooking. The 2023 survey from the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association estimated that about 70% of households in the U.S. have a grill or smoker, and BBQ charcoal is the popular grilling fuel since it generally enhances flavor profiles in grilled foods. This trend has also been extended through food festivals and competitive events in barbecuing, most of which are done with charcoal grilling. Furthermore, the growth of disposable incomes and urbanization fuels market growth. With increasing numbers of households in developing economies adopting the tradition of outdoor cooking, demand for quality BBQ charcoal is rising.

Innovations around product offerings, such as eco-friendly charcoal alternatives, further support market growth.
