Market Trends of France Disposal Tableware Industry
Increasing Urbanisation and Number of Takeaway Restaurants is driving the Market
The French disposable tableware market is currently experiencing substantial growth due to the increase in quick-service restaurants, cafes, and bars across France. There is a substantial increase in convenience-seeking customers, which would further drive demand in the disposable tableware market. The European food service disposal market was estimated to have a higher value in 2022 than in 2021, which would further add to the increasing demand for disposable items. France is projected to be the fastest-growing market over the forecast period in terms of volume consumption. Increased urbanization is also driving the growth of the disposable tableware market. The changing lifestyle of the urban population and the increase in household events are also driving the need for disposable tableware products.
Increasing Usage of Biodegradable Disposal Tableware
To follow this administrative commitment while liberating themselves from a brand image degraded by eco-responsible awareness, the players in the disposable tableware market are now focusing on biodegradable, higher-value-added products such as wood, which is now a fast-growing market.
The other issue in the French disposable tableware market remains recycling in the context of valorizing waste products and reducing their environmental impact. This is particularly the case with plastic cups because, according to the Association santé Environnement France (Asef), only 1% of the 4.73 billion plastic cups thrown away each year in France are recycled. To meet these new challenges, the players in the disposable tableware market in France are committed to a race for industrial innovation and commercial innovation as well as a questioning of their value chain with a share of the cost associated with greater packaging in the coming years.
