The Paper Cups Market growth is expected to reach at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period 2021 to 2030 and projected to hit around US$ 13 billion by 2030.
Paper cups are a type of disposable cups used for consuming food and beverages such as tea, coffee, soft drinks, and soups. These cups are coated with polyethylene, the most common plastic resin, which helps to increase their durability and performance by preventing the condensed moisture from soaking in and retaining flavour. With their hectic lifestyles and busy schedules, consumers nowadays utilize paper cups to save time and effort as these cups do not require cleaning and can be easily discarded after use. The demand for paper cups has also been influenced by the rising trend of takeaway services and ready-to-eat food across the globe.
Cups made from paper are included under this study. Such paper cups are gaining momentum owing to ban on plastic disposable cups in various countries. Nowadays, biodegradable paper cups are also introduced that are improving the market attractiveness.
Drivers/Constraints:
The environmental damage caused by plastic cups has led various organizations to encourage the utilization of paper cups due to their eco-friendly nature, which has created a positive impact on the global paper cups market. Moreover, on account of increasing awareness about cleanliness and hygiene, consumers consider disposable paper cups to be safer than reusable cups, as they are exposed to high heat during the manufacturing process which kills bacteria and renders the product practically sterile. However, the availability of cheaper substitutes, such as plastic, Styrofoam and glass cups, pose a major threat to the sales of paper cups across the globe. Looking forward, VRR expects the global paper cups market to exhibit its moderate growth during the next five years.
In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is estimated to contribute for the largest market share over the forecast period. The Asia-Pacific market is expected to grow with a lucrative CAGR due to growing disposable incomes and rising urbanization coupled with huge demand for coffee and tea in the region. North America is expected to account for a significant market share owing to ban on single use plastics for disposable cups.
Market Analysis by Types, Applications, and Regions:
Emergence of Bio-Degradable Paper Cups is Expected to Drive Market Expansion
Conventional paper cups are coated with Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) that is used for paper coating due to its high resistance to water and grease. These cups are suitable for being used in cups to carry juice, hot beverages, dairy and soft drinks. However, the difficulty of industrially decomposing synthetic polymer-coated paper cups has led to the rise of biodegradable cups with comparable performance.
Poly Lactic Acid, a biobased thermoplastic polymer derived from renewable resources, is used in the lining of bio-degradable paper cups. The two major advantages for PLA coated cups are – they do not require an additional step in recycling to separate the PE from the paper. When the recycling process is undertaken, PLA does not interfere with the process.
Eden Springs recently introduced a fully compostable and biodegradable plant-based water cup, that can be used for both cold and hot beverage. Lavazza Professional introduced KLIX Eco Cup, a new recyclable and biodegradable product.
However, the cost of PLA is higher as compared to synthetic plastics like LDPE, thus making it the primary restraining factor in its widescale use. This is expected to slow down the adoption of PLA coated cups as a majority of the end-user segments are small units with limited capital.
Key Findings of the Report:
Scope of the Report
A paper cup is a disposable cup that is lined or coated with synthetic or bioplastic polymers to prevent liquid from soaking through the paper. Single Coated Paper Cups are used for hot beverages while Double Coated Paper Cups are used for chilled beverages. Polyethylene and Polylactic acid are used for coating paper cups.
