Sustainability Drives Growth: Eco-Friendly Straws Market to Reach USD 22.07 Billion by 2033 | FMI

The global eco-friendly straws market is projected to maintain strong growth over the forecast period, with a CAGR of 7.5%. In 2023, the market is valued at USD 10.71 billion and is anticipated to soar to USD 22.07 billion by 2033, driven by a growing consumer preference for sustainable alternatives across industries.

As environmental awareness rises, the demand for eco-friendly straws is expected to sustain its upward trajectory, reflecting a global shift toward responsible consumption and sustainability.

Among the most popular alternatives are bamboo straws, celebrated for their durability and inherent antibacterial properties. Traditional hay straws, 100% organic and biodegradable, are gaining traction in the food and beverage industry. Meanwhile, stainless-steel reusable straws with silicone tips are providing versatile, long-lasting options for those seeking alternatives to single-use plastics, particularly appealing to individuals with sensitive teeth.
