Air fryer market shifts toward glass bowls and diverse designs

The air fryer market is evolving with new designs and materials, specifically moving toward glass-bowl models and different physical configurations. In Spain, retailers are increasingly promoting glass air fryers, a trend expected to grow through 2027. Unlike traditional metal baskets, transparent glass bowls allow users to monitor food browning without opening the appliance, potentially improving cooking control and simplifying cleaning due to smoother surfaces.

Consumers can choose between vertical and horizontal configurations based on kitchen space. Vertical models, such as those from Philips or Cosori, are narrower and better suited for small urban kitchens, though they require more depth and height. Horizontal models, like the Ninja CRISPi DualZone, offer a wider footprint. Additionally, the material of the cooking container—ranging from Teflon and ceramic to glass—impacts both performance and maintenance.
