Key Market Trends
1. Consumer Inclination Toward Ready-To-Eat and On-The-Go Food
The increasing demand for foodservice packaging globally is driven by several practical attributes such as affordability, hygienic design, convenient storage, and ready-to-use features. With more people working and urbanization on the rise, these attributes have contributed to the growth of the global foodservice packaging market. The changing lifestyle trends, rising disposable income, and rapid urbanization in many countries have led to an increasing appetite for takeout or prepared foods, amplifying the demand for foodservice packaging.
2. Changing Business Models of Food & Beverage Service Providers
Global quick service restaurants (QSRs) like KFC and McDonald's have fueled the demand for foodservice packaging solutions worldwide. These QSR chains are adopting business strategies that reduce labor costs and allocate resources to enhance service quality and customer assistance, rather than investing in the maintenance and cleaning of business containers. This strategy is being adopted by local and regional businesses worldwide, driving the demand for foodservice packaging solutions. The flexibility in production capabilities enables players to offer foodservice packaging solutions to a wide range of end-users in the food sector.
