Segment Spotlight
Material Type: Paper & Paperboard (40%)
Paper & paperboard dominate with 40% market share. These materials are biodegradable, renewable, and widely accepted as sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics. Foodservice operators prefer paper-based solutions for their printability, branding compatibility, and alignment with eco-conscious values. Increasing awareness of plastic pollution and waste reduction reinforces their leading position.
Packaging Type: Plates (36.4%)
Plates account for 36.4% of demand, making them the leading packaging type. Compostable plates are extensively used in fast-casual, catering, and takeaway settings. Often manufactured from paper, bagasse, or biodegradable fibers, these plates provide durability while reducing long-term environmental impact. Regulatory policies targeting plastic reduction further support plate adoption.
End Use: Restaurants, Cafes, and Delivery Catering
Chain restaurants, non-chain restaurants, chain cafes, non-chain cafes, and delivery catering services collectively drive demand. The rapid growth of takeaway and delivery models increases the need for lightweight, single-use compostable packaging that meets hygiene and sustainability expectations.
