Disposable Cups Market Surges: Expanding at a CAGR of 6.2% by 2033 | FMI

Disposable Cups Market

Anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 11.6 billion by 2023, the global disposable cups market is poised for a substantial growth trajectory, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% from 2023 to 2033. Forecasts indicate a market value surge to US$ 21.1 billion by 2033. Notably, the top three countries are expected to collectively grasp 40% to 45% of the market share in 2023, underscoring their significant influence on the industry landscape. This upward trend underscores the increasing demand for disposable cups and reflects evolving consumer preferences and lifestyle choices worldwide.

Various environmentally conscious alternatives for disposable plastic cups, including polylactic acid, plant starch, and maize starch, have emerged, promoting eco-friendly choices. The production of 100% compostable, sustainable, and disposable cups requires significantly less energy, further emphasizing the ecological benefits of these options. The escalating consumer preference for compostable and recyclable cups, suitable for both hot and cold beverages, is expected to drive an upsurge in disposable cup sales. This growing inclination towards sustainable solutions reflects a broader shift towards environmentally responsible practices in response to increasing environmental concerns and a desire for greener alternatives.

Projected for 2023, the disposable cups industry in the United Kingdom is poised to represent 16% of total sales in Europe. The surge is particularly attributed to the country’s booming coffee business, as per insights from the Parliament Publications on Disposable Packaging Coffee Cups. Notably, the United Kingdom has experienced a coffee shop proliferation, with over four times the number of establishments compared to 2000. A significant cultural shift toward a daily coffee cafe routine, driven by hectic lifestyles and extended work hours, contributes to the nation’s prevalent on-the-go coffee culture. The heightened preference for outdoor coffee consumption and the expansion of quick-service eateries are expected to further bolster sales in this market.

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.
