COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Local players maintain dominance despite rising imports
The microwaves market in Argentina is concentrated, with local players dominating the industry. As of 2025, the top two brands, BGH and Atma, led the market, with BGH being the clear leader.
New low-priced imports enter the market
Due to the friendlier scenario for imported brands stemming from the lifting of bureaucratic regulations on imports and the stronger relative value of the local currency, the entry of low-price brands has been seen in microwaves. One new entrant, Kanji, is targeting low-income consumers with affordable microwaves.

Microwaves
Microwaves use electromagnetic waves to heat food. When the waves are absorbed by water, fats or sugars, they‘re converted directly into atomic motion – or heat. Unlike conventional ovens, in which heat is conducted from the outside of the food towards the centre, the microwave‘s radio waves target the water and fat molecules evenly, throughout the food.
