Single-use paper cups are gaining attention in food service industry such as hotels, restaurants, and online delivery processes.

Surging millennial population is expected to be a key driver to expansion of the global paper cups market, as millennials have been known to experience nearly twice the number of away-from-home situations, as compared to adults.

To expand their businesses, manufacturers of paper cups must know what the modern consumer wants and anticipate how their preferences may change over time. Manufacturers of paper cups are expected to mainly focus on the design and appearance of their products to target specific consumers. For instance, high-quality printing on paper cups has a high consumer appeal.
