In Chile, the BBQ charcoal briquette market is gaining steady momentum, driven by the country’s strong grilling culture and increasing demand for convenient, cleaner-burning fuel sources among urban households. Rising disposable income and the popularity of weekend barbecues especially during the summer months are boosting retail sales of briquettes. A key driver is the growing preference for sustainable alternatives to traditional firewood, aligned with Chile’s broader environmental regulations and forest conservation policies. However, the market faces restraints due to inconsistent raw material supply, especially from small-scale producers lacking mechanized production. There's also a growing challenge of competition from imported briquettes, mainly from Brazil and Argentina, which are often cheaper. An emerging opportunity lies in eco-friendly briquettes made from agricultural waste such as coconut shells or sawdust, which appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. Additionally, trends such as gourmet outdoor cooking and the expansion of e-commerce are reshaping consumer preferences toward premium packaged briquette brands. With these dynamics in play, the BBQ charcoal briquette market in Chile is projected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 5.8% from 2025 to 2030.
