Fast Food Wrapping Paper Market Outlook
*this image is indicative*
The expansion of the fast food wrapping paper market is being driven by factors like the changing lifestyle of consumers, the increase in fast food and packaged food consumption, and a growing number of fast-food chains. With the growing concerns regarding the safety of fast food, the demand for fast food wrapping paper is increasing. The surging availability of fast food wrapping paper offering excellent grease proofness and printability is fuelling the growth of the market. The development of customised food wrapping paper that offers the benefit of high-quality food paper is expected to propel the market growth.
Various leading companies are increasingly offering versatile food wrapping paper with several grades and properties. As various fast-food brands are increasingly attempting to reduce their environmental impact, they are preferring wrapping paper that are designed for either composability or recyclability, which is anticipated to provide further impetus to the growth of the fast food wrapping paper market in the forecast period.
Growing health-consciousness; increasing emphasis on sustainability; rising trend of customisation; and advancements in food packaging technology are favouring the fast food wrapping paper market expansion.
With increasing health consciousness and surging awareness regarding harmful materials such as bisphenol A and PFAS, the demand for food-safe and non-toxic wrapping paper that is free from harmful chemicals and approved for food contact by health organisations is surging.
The growing emphasis on sustainability is prompting leading manufacturers to develop fast food wrapping paper made from compostable and biodegradable materials. Fast food chains are also increasingly adopting recycled paper as a sustainable alternative to virgin paper in order to minimise waste and enhance their sustainability profile.
With food chains using packaging to establish their distinct brand image and surge brand visibility, the demand for custom-printed wrapping papers with unique promos, logos, and promotional and branding messages is increasing.
Advancements in food packaging technology are leading to the creation of fast food packaging paper with enhanced grease resistance, oil and moisture-barrier properties, and improved tear-resistance and strength. In the forecast period, the development of edible wrapping paper made from materials such as rice, wheat, and seaweed to reduce landfill waste associated with food packaging is anticipated to revolutionise the fast food wrapping paper market landscape in the forecast period.
