The disposable tableware market represents all traditionally plastic disposable plates, cups, napkins, tablecloths, and cutlery.
The global disposable tableware market has grown in recent years, and the market is expected to continue to grow at a compound annual rate of 5.4 percent per year between 2023 and 2028, reaching a total value of $52.91 billion at the end of the period.
The compostable disposable tableware segment is also expected to grow in the coming years. A compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5 percent is expected between 2023 and 2031, thanks to which the economic value of this segment could exceed $1 billion.
The Italian disposable tableware market is growing more slowly than the rest of the world. Between 2023 and 2028, the annual growth rate is expected to be 2.75%, half that of the world market, and the total value could touch $600 million in value.
Historically dominated by price criteria, the Italian disposable tableware market is now facing a turning point: the ban on the use of single-use plastic approved by the European Union. In order to comply with this regulatory obligation, while freeing themselves from a brand image degraded by an eco-responsible consciousness, players in the disposable tableware market are now focusing on biodegradable products.
The other challenge for the Italian disposable tableware market remains recycling, in the context of waste recovery and reducing its environmental impact. To meet these new challenges, players in the disposable tableware market are engaged in a race for industrial and commercial innovation.
