Market Dynamics

New product launches to flourish the market

The restaurant kitchens possess a hot and warm environment due to the presence of multiple hobs, ovens, and heating equipment. The excessive heat becomes very uncomfortable for chefs, especially if they are working long shifts. Hence, wearing an appropriate and comfortable uniform has become very important for personal comfort. As a result, the market players are focusing on manufacturing comfortable and soothing chef coats, pants, and aprons to provide personal comfort to the back-end staff. For instance, in September 2022, Chef Works, Inc. launched a new brand named Mojave Chef Coat, Camo. The coats are specifically designed for chefs working in a hot environment. The products include various features such as a cool vent back panel, an apron tab, and discreet front pockets. The cool vent back panel creates a room to allow airflow and breathability.
