US demand to approach $18 billion in 2013

Demand for foodservice disposables is projected to approach $18 billion in 2013. Though advances will decelerate from the past decade due to slower growth in consumer spending and more moderate material price increases, demand for disposables will be supported by a rebound in away-from-home food expenditures as the economy recovers. Rising away-from-home food expenditures will also reflect faster-paced lifestyles and the willingness of consumers to pay for convenient, ready prepared foods. Packaging and serviceware made from biodegradable materials will post robust advances from a low base, the result of increased price competitiveness with petroleum-based plastic materials; rapidly expanding capacity; heightened consumer interest in environmental issues; increased pressure on foodservice operators to reduce their environmental footprint; and growing bans on polystyrene- based disposables.

Foodservice packaging to be fastest growing products

The fastest gains are anticipated for packaging products, fueled by above average revenue growth in the large limited service segment, which accounts for nearly half of overall restaurant revenues but generates a much higher share of foodservice disposables demand. Expanding menu options in limited service restaurants and longer hours to incorporate breakfast and late night snacking will also bode well for related packaging. Wraps and lids will register the fastest growth, with most container types also expected to register healthy gains. The popularity of takeout food from full service restaurants will provide a further boost for packaging, especially since these restaurants often use higher-value disposable containers designed to maintain food temperature and minimize leakage problems. Additionally, packaging gains will be supported by expanded prepared food offerings in supermarkets and other retail stores, along with increased catering activity by limited and full service restaurants.

Retail, vending market to see fastest annual growth

Eating and drinking places, by far the largest foodservice disposables market, are expected to log growth in line with the overall average. Advances will be driven by expanding menu options in quick service restaurants and increased requirements for disposables among full service restaurants. Retail and vending will represent the fastest growing disposables market, propelled by the growing presence of prepared foods in supermarkets, warehouse clubs, convenience stores and other retail stores. Upgraded coffee and the increased availability of fresh salads and sandwiches in convenience stores will also assist disposables demand in the retail market.

Greater use expected for recycled/biodegradable materials, source reduction

Foodservice disposables suppliers are increasingly emphasizing the development of sustainable packaging, which seeks to make greater use of packaging materials and systems that promote economic and environmental health, and which emphasizes the use of recycled raw materials as much as possible. As a result, a plethora of new foodservice disposables products using recycled content or biodegradable materials have entered the market in the past few years, with heightened activity in all product segments. Sustainability efforts will also drive source reduction activity such as the lightweighting of products or shifting to flexible packaging.
