The food service packaging market was valued at USD 53.21 billion in 2020 and expected to reach USD 90.87 billion by 2026 and grow at a CAGR of 10.14% over the forecast period (2021-2026). Owing to the factors, like the rising demand for quick-service restaurants (QSR), the consumer preferences for on-the-go consumption, and the demand for delivery applications (propelling the growth of e-commerce), the market for foodservice packaging is witnessing rapid growth.
Key Highlights
- Growth in urban population and the consequent increase in demand for processed and prepared food have a significant impact on the growth of the market. For instance, in the United Kingdom, Just Eat PLC reported that the household expenditure on takeaways increased from GBP 10.1 billion in 2017 to GBP 10.4 billion in 2018, and is further expected to reach GBP 11.2 billion by 2021.
- Food service has grown to become a major part of consumer spending. As this trend increases, packaging plays a key role in ensuring food safety and providing convenience to the consumers. For instance, proper package labeling allows the food preparers to know the source of the food, its proper holding temperature, and the adequate amount of cooking needed.
- An increase in stringent rules and regulations from the governments for adhering to quality standards is hindering the market growth.
Key Market Trends
Plastic Containers to Account for a Significant Market Share
- The demand for plastic packaging is growing at a rapid rate, as it is lightweight, microwaveable, and available in various design options.
- These products are gaining preference over glass bottles, jars, containers, and metal containers, owing to their multiple benefits.
- Moreover, the recent trend and changing consumer preferences for intelligent packaging solutions that can improve safety and convenience, extend product life shelf, and monitor freshness, have also contributed to the growing demand for a single-sized plastic container.
- Sustainable packaging is very much essential for contemporary times. With many new innovations, like biodegradable plastic and bioplastic that can mitigate environmental risk, the plastic market slowly gaining a little bit of traction.
- The consumers can get an increased value for recyclability and perceived "greenness" of packaging. At the same time, the demand for proof of sustainability claims is also expected to grow exponentially.
- Moreover, the market size of sustainable packaging, as well as the incremental usage of paper, wood, glass, cotton, and other packaging materials as sustainable packaging materials, are changing the consumers' buying habits that make the environment eco-friendly.
Asia-Pacific Accounts for the Largest Market Demand
- Owing to the presence of densely populated and emerging economies, such as Southeast Asian countries, China, and India, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness growth recording the highest CAGR.
- China accounts for the most significant share in the market (the United States ), owing to its comparatively higher food and beverage consumption. The presence of a more dense population and a similar rise in the consumption of fast food are augmenting the growth of the market.
- Moreover, in Australia, people spend nearly 32% of their household food budget on eating out and fast food, and the average fast food meal contains about the half of an adult's recommended daily energy intake. Subway, KFC, Hungry Jack's, Domino's, Pizza Hut are some of the prominent QRSs in the country that are witnessing rapid growth in their businesses.
- In the major Indian cities, with urbanization, changing in lifestyle, coping with fast-paced work life, and dependence on online food platforms are rapidly changing the dynamics of the food service industry.
