• Market Transformation: The share of traditional liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stoves—rooted in Brazil’s "gas cylinder culture"—has dropped from approximately 80% five years ago to 55%. Induction cooktops now account for 30%, with electric stoves making up 15%. Data from May 2026 shows induction cooktops have moved beyond niche high-end segments to occupy prime shelf space in major appliance retailers.
• Key Drivers:
◦ Safety: Eliminates risks of gas leaks and explosions, reducing household NO₂ emissions by over 50%.
◦ Economics: Lower long-term operational costs compared to gas, supported by government electricity subsidies.
◦ Technology: Widespread adoption of smart connectivity features, with heating efficiency ~70% higher than traditional electric stoves.
• Policy Support:
◦ The National Energy Policy Council (CNPE) issued Resolution No. 3/2026, strengthening quality control and traceability regulations for the LPG market.
◦ Resolution No. 4/2026 established decarbonization goals for the natural gas industry, marking the launch of biomethane applications.
◦ The "Universal Gas Program" continues expansion, covering state capitals nationwide and benefiting 4.5 million subsidized households.

Certification Requirement: Gas appliances must obtain INMETRO (National Institute of Metrology, Quality, and Technology) safety certification to enter the market—an essential threshold for manufacturers.
