What Drivers Are Propelling the Growth of Food Contact Papers Market Forward?
The surge in customer desire for candies and chocolates is predicted to spur the food contact papers industry's expansion. Candies and chocolates are foodstuffs produced through the mixture of sugar and fat with cocoa beans that have been roasted and ground into a solid confectionery. Food contact papers serve as the primary packaging material, acting as a shield between the food item and the external environment, safeguarding the food from contamination and helping to maintain its freshness. For example, in March 2022, the National Confectioners Association, a US-based trade body promoting chocolate, candy, gum, and mints, reported that chocolate and candy sales in the US incremented by 11% between 2020 and 2021. The total confectionery retail sales in 2021 were also reported to be $36.9 billion, with projections expecting this to increase to $44.9 billion by 2026. As a result, the growing demand for candies and chocolates is fuelling the food contact papers market's growth. An escalating demand for easily accessible food is set to boost the food contact paper market's progress in the future years. Packs of ready-to-eat meals, prepared mixes, and snacks, often referred to as convenience foods, are commercially produced food products, eliminating the need for additional preparation. These are typical applications of food contact sheets, mostly when packaging and wrapping foods that are ready for consumption. For instance, according to a report published in April 2024 by the National Association of Convenience Stores, a US-based trade organization, there was an observation of the total industry foodservice sales making up 26.9% of in-store sales in 2023, which was an upsurge from 25.6% in 2022. Prepared food sales also saw an increase by 12.2% per shop every month, earning it the top spot among in-store categories. The expanding demand for easily accessible food, therefore, is driving the food contact paper market's growth.
