Improved Cook Stove Market Size in Mozambique

Over the last years, international development organisations and the private sector have realised that the ICS market in Mozambique has largely been overlooked[3]. 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[4]. 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[5]. Around 20,000 ICS stoves are sold annually in the Mozambican market, based on the survey report from EnDev[6].

The clean cooking market is estimated to be around 4.5 million households[7] and is expected to grow at 9% (or even 16.1% with tax exceptions) by 2026[8].
