Sintesi

Since 2020, the disposable tableware market has seen significant growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4 percent projected between 2023 and 2028 globally, expected to reach a market value of $52.91 billion. This growth is partly driven by the increasing demand for compostable disposable tableware, which is also expected to rise with a CAGR of 6.5 percent from 2023 to 2031, potentially exceeding a value of $1 billion. This market shift is largely influenced by new EU regulations aiming to reduce single-use plastics and the growing eco-consciousness pushing for biodegradable solutions.

Evolving Trends and Consumption Dynamics in the Italian Disposable Tableware Market

The Italian disposable tableware market has been witnessing several transformative changes and evolving trends that signal a gradual but definitive shift in consumption patterns. The market's valuation of just over $520 million as of 2023 is projected to inch towards the $600 million mark by 2028, albeit at a conservative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.75 percent, reflecting a growth pace that's half that of the global market expansion. A crucial driver of change within the Italian market is the stringent EU regulations that have catalyzed a paradigm shift from traditional plastic disposable tableware towards more eco-friendly, biodegradable alternatives. Consequently, a race to industrial and commercial innovation has been ignited, with key market players eagerly adapting to the increased eco-responsibility demanded by regulatory bodies and consumers alike. Households display a fluctuating trend in their average annual expenditure. Notably, there has been a decline of around 19.9 percent from 2018 to 2022, with a marked dip between 2018 and 2020, followed by a rebound in 2021, and ultimately a downtrend in 2022.

The expenditure figures for glassware, tableware, and kitchenware have seen a seesaw pattern, hinting at a variable demand. The commercial sector, encompassing restaurants and canteens, also reflects a mixed demand trend. The food service and catering sector witnessed a contraction of around 14.1 percent between 2018 and 2021, suggestive of a reduced demand for disposable tableware in these settings. In contrast, the restaurant sector showed resilience and adaptability with a 7.3 percent growth in active enterprises from 2017 to 2021, indicating potential demand stability or even growth in this segment. Further dissecting the restaurant sector reveals the burgeoning niche markets that might be propelling the demand for disposable tableware: take-away food preparation services expanded by approximately 7.3 percent, ice cream and pastry shops by around 12.2 percent, and mobile catering by a substantial 84.2 percent within the same timeframe. These sub-sectors highlight the evolving landscape where convenience, hygiene, and mobility are central to consumer preferences. Geographically, demand for disposable tableware is relatively consistent across Italy, with slight regional variances

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.
