In 2023, the market for disposable cups is anticipated to be worth US$ 11.6 billion worldwide. From 2023 to 2033, it is anticipated to surge at a CAGR of 6.2%. By 2033, the market is anticipated to be worth US$ 21.1 billion. In 2023, it is predicted that the top 3 nations would account for 40% to 45% of the market.
In the USA, a surge in eco-friendly disposable cup demand is propelled by a heightened environmental consciousness and the country’s prominent role in the fast-food sector. The adoption of sustainable paper-based packaging, derived from responsibly managed forests, is gaining momentum, leveraging renewable resources. Given the USA’s significant presence in the fast-food industry, cafes, eateries, and coffee chains are increasingly opting for plant-based and biodegradable cups that not only ensure safety but also resonate with the rising consumer preference for sustainability and health.
Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, the ever-growing coffee culture and the dominance of popular chains like Starbucks and Costa Coffee are key drivers behind the escalating demand for disposable cups. The nation’s penchant for on-the-go coffee consumption, coupled with the rapid expansion of quick-service restaurants, further contributes to the widespread use of disposable cups. In response to environmental concerns, various initiatives, including coffee cup recycling programs and proposals for the return of used paper cups, are being actively pursued. This shift towards sustainability, coupled with potential plastic cup bans, continues to propel the demand for eco-friendly disposable cups in the UK.

Demand for Sustainable Packaging to Create New Growth Opportunities for Disposable Cups Manufacturers
Innovation is important because it aids businesses in market penetration, the creation of better prospects, and customer engagement. The disposable cup market offers significant potential for innovation to provide high-quality food service goods. Paper cups can help to get around few of the problems with plastic cups. It might also aid in expansion for throwaway cups.
For instance,
- In July 2021, following single-use plastic ban in the European Union, Vegware updated their disposable cups’ design to comply with the single-use plastics directive.
- In June 2021, Novolex launched a new manufacturing line to produce compostable cups from plant-based plastic (polylactic acid) which appears, behaves, and performs just like a traditional plastic cup.
Plastic Ban in Significant Regions is Expected to Deter Disposable Cup Sales
Single-use plastic damages wildlife, flora, and fauna. It also pollutes the environment and uses up vital natural resources in its production. Due to the massive amount of plastic waste in landfills and the ocean, several nations have outlawed single-use plastics.
Around 15 million metric tonnes of plastic debris are dumped into the ocean annually, according to Oceana Inc. Every minute, around two trucks worth of plastic trash are produced and dumped into the ocean. More than any other nation, the USA produces a substantial amount of plastic waste. Devastating effects may result from the rapid increase in terms of plastic manufacturing.
Expanded polystyrene products are no longer available and are even prohibited in Europe. Purpose of this new rule named Single-Use-Plastics (SUP), is to lessen negative effects that plastic has on both human health and the aquatic environment.
The order was incorporated into national law and became effective on July 3, 2021. Any nation that violates these duties will pay a price. Numerous countries are imposing restrictions on single-use plastics, which is impeding expansion of the disposable cup business.
