The trends shaping outdoor dining

Warmer weather is on the way so consumers will be dining al fresco and looking for portable power and music on the move. The global market for these outdoor spaces and kitchens has already reached £19 billion globally, and customers in the UK spend an average of £10,000 on these sociable spaces. Outfitting these projects involves products from kitchen appliances through to TVs and tech, with the added bonus being that these upgrades can add between 5% to 15% to a home’s value – here we look at the latest trends.

The trends that are shaping these spaces vary but in 2025 we are seeing the following trends and products growing in the outdoor living category:

Outdoor TV’s

In 2023, the global outdoor TV market was valued at approximately £320.5 million and is projected to grow (CAGR) of 9.2% from 2024 to 2030, potentially reaching around £584.9 million by 2030. That means we are keen to explore watching our favourite sports and films in the great outdoors and the technology has advanced so much that it means reflections and sunlight are no longer an issue with some of the products available on the market, check out Sylvox for example.

With the UK’s overall television market valued at £4 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow to £6.5 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 8.24% during the forecast period, the outdoor category may only contribute less than 5% to the overall category but brands like Sylvox are growing this segment with products like the Sylvox Patio Series of TVs which comes in a variety of screen sizes and are newly available in the UK through Euronics.
