Fogões Melhorados em Moçambique : Dimensão do Mercado
Introduction
This article provides a snapshot of the improved cookstove (ICS) market in Mozambique particularly the market size and is targeted at private sector, donor organisations, NGOs, Government bodies and other stakeholders who are interested in getting a deeper understanding of the ICS market.
In this article, the term improved cookstoves (ICS) includes efficient cookstoves that burn different solid biomass such as firewood, charcoal, agricultural residues, animal dung and other solid biomass products. Advanced or high tier cookstoves (ACS) are fuelled by LPG, biogas, solar energy or electricity and are mentioned in some sections of this article. ACS are not included in the term ICS, however they are included in the terms clean cooking solutions and clean cooking technologies.
ICS Market Size and Growth Potential
Over the last years, international development organisations and the private sector have realised that the ICS market in Mozambique has largely been overlooked[1]. For this reason, the development organisations are working together with the private sector for mobilisation of the clean cooking market and thus, opening new investment opportunities. In 2016, it was estimated that about 70,000 ICS were distributed through NGO intervention[2]. By the end of 2020, there was a total of 710,000 beneficiaries of clean cooking, and an expected distribution of an additional 166,000 improved cook stoves[3]. Around 20,000 ICS stoves are sold annually in the Mozambican market, based on the survey report from EnDev[4].
The clean cooking market is estimated to be around 4.5 million households[4] and is expected to grow at 9% (or even 16.1% with tax exceptions) by 2026[5].
Types of ICS in the Market
There is a variety of improved cookstoves available in Mozambique and were introduced by different development programmes. These stoves use different types of fuels ranging from dung and crop residues to ethanol or solar energy. Several of these stoves are manufactured in foreign countries but assembled in Mozambique while others are artisanal stoves produced locally. The following table shows the cookstoves available in the market as of 2021, including ICS and ACS.

Data from Clean Cookstoves
FEDESMO has also developed a stove map with sales points for different types of stoves such as charcoal, institutional, mobile and fixed firewood cookstoves[3][6]. This database is however not up-to-date
