Read more about this report - REQUEST FREE SAMPLE COPY IN PDF

The Asia Pacific is one of the leading regions for the product, with increased consumption from India and China. In the paper cups industry, the product type is led by the hot variants, and the type is dominated by the single walled segment. Among the paper plates, the heavy-duty variants are the most popular product type globally.

Due to their lightweight, cost efficiency, biodegradability, as well as air resistance ability, internal strength and rigidity, the products are commonly used in the food and beverage industry. These do not need to be washed and can quickly be discarded after use. In addition, the impact of westernisation and the increase in fast food consumption has increased in developing regions. This has resulted in an increase in demand for food and beverage packaging disposables. Paper cups and plates can be much more biodegradable than plastic and foam counterparts and typically take less time to decompose. In addition, manufacturers are now implementing new techniques to avoid the contamination of processed food items by grease and oxygen, like advanced substrate technology. Due to these factors, the industry for paper cups and plates is expected to increase globally.
