Disposable Cups Market Projected to Reach a Valuation of US$ 21.1 Billion by 2033 | FMI Study

Anticipated to reach a value of US$ 11.6 billion in 2023, the global disposable cups market is poised for a significant expansion with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% from 2023 to 2033. By 2033, the market is expected to soar to a valuation of US$ 21.1 billion, with the top three countries estimated to collectively grasp approximately 40% to 45% of the market share in 2023.

Enhancing the insulating properties of paper-based disposable cups can be achieved by applying an additional layer of insulation, thereby increasing their stiffness and rigidity.

In the USA, the surge in demand for eco-friendly disposable cups is being fueled by a growing environmental consciousness and the nation’s prominent position in the fast-food sector. The adoption of sustainable paper-based packaging, sourced from responsibly managed forests, is gaining traction as it taps into renewable resources. With the USA playing a significant role in the fast-food industry, cafes, eateries, and coffee chains are increasingly choosing plant-based and biodegradable cups, prioritizing safety while aligning with the rising consumer preference for sustainability and health.

Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, the burgeoning coffee culture and the dominance of popular chains like Starbucks and Costa Coffee are driving the escalating demand for disposable cups. The nation’s inclination for on-the-go coffee consumption, coupled with the rapid expansion of quick-service restaurants, contributes to the widespread use of disposable cups. In response to environmental concerns, active initiatives, such as coffee cup recycling programs and proposals for the return of used paper cups, are being pursued. This shift towards sustainability, combined with potential bans on plastic cups, 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.
