According to Future Market Insight, the global market for compostable food service packaging is forecast to reach US$ 18.9 billion in 2023 and accelerate at a moderate CAGR of 4.5% during the assessment period (2023 to 2033). Overall compostable food service packaging sales are predicted to total a valuation of US$ 29.3 billion by 2033.
Rising demand for eco-friendly and sustainable packaging solutions across diverse end-use industries to reduce environmental pollution levels is a key factor driving the global compostable foodservice packaging market forward.
Similarly, rising awareness levels, growing need for achieving the sustainability goal among the brands, and implementation of stringent government regulations on the usage of single-use plastic products are expected to push the demand for compostable foodservice packaging.
Rising industry standards and the introduction of technology solutions into the paper market are creating future growth prospects for the compostable foodservice packaging market.
Initially, waste was generated by paper producers due to a lack of adequate paper making machinery. Owing to technological advancements, waste created may now be repurposed as a raw material for creating paper or other products, which was previously not feasible due to a lack of required technologies.

Wastage during the papermaking process has been cut in half as a result of the development of cutting-edge paper production technology, and paper producers’ efficiency has grown. In addition, technologically improved papermaking equipment give paper manufacturers increased production capacities.
Bagasse is expected to act as a revolutionary element in the compostable packaging market due to its strong, lightweight, affordable, and eco-friendly features. Bagasse is a dry, pulpy, fibrous by-product of crushed sugarcane. It is extensively utilized in the production of food packaging and service elements. It is completely biodegradable and has no harmful effects on the environment.
Bagasse packaging solutions can handle both hot and cold foods. Government restrictions on single-use plastics could make way for eco-friendly packaging solutions such as bagasse tableware. This in turn will boost the global compostable foodservice packaging industry.
With plastics becoming one of the biggest challenges in the world right now, brands prolifically using such materials will need to act quickly to find reliable alternatives. Technological innovations are being made to reduce the price of compostable foodservice packaging, and FMI’s study assesses that the global efforts to become a more sustainable society will be instrumental in creating new growth opportunities for the market vendors.
Trays Continue to Gain Preference Over Other Packaging Format
According to the study, the composite foodservice packaging market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of approximately 5% through 2029. One of the key growth drivers is a notable spike in the number of quick service restaurants (QSRs), especially in developing countries, which align with todays’ convenience and on-the-go culture. In addition, surging adoption of foodservice disposables, in the view of an increase in the demand for pre-packed food, has been preparing the grounds for compostable foodservice packaging penetration.
The study finds that compostable trays continue to account for relatively large share of manufacturers’ bottom lines, while more focus has been placed on increasing the production of compostable cups, as the category is witnessing rising demand from a multitude of end-use sectors. As the search for sustainable solutions scales up, companies operating in packaging industry are starting to launch a number of products made entirely from plant-based materials including mushroom roots, bagasse, seaweed, and starch derived from maize.
As per the study, the wave of ‘customization’ is also approaching in the compostable foodservice packaging space. To fulfill the individual packaging needs while promoting sustainability, manufacturers are targeted towards offering custom products of all sizes, ensuring food safety and minimizing leakage. Demand from non-chain restaurants continues to influence growth strategies, and as identified by the FMI’s study, market stakeholders are tapping into opportunities in chain café and independent foodservice operators. Rapid expansion of international chain café in developing countries along with growing consumer preference to eat out, especially from food trucks and street stalls, is also likely to work well with the manufacturers’ growth strategies.
Growth prospects of the compostable foodservice packaging, as the report opines, are high in EU5 and the U.S. Greater awareness and easy access to innovative solutions along with favorable regulatory framework and higher availability of compost facilities in these regions have worked to the advantage of the stakeholders. In addition, market consolidation in Asia Pacific, particularly in the southern region, will remain a key to gaining distinct competitive advantage, as trends of eating out and online ordering have spiked across the region.
The business intelligence report also offers an incisive outlook on competitive landscape by analyzing the key development strategies of the market players. According to the study, the market shows a high level of consolidation, with local and regional players catering to domestic and urgent demands, while leading players with strong regional presence account for relatively small share in the market.
However, markets such as Australia and other Oceanic countries, have witnessed a decline in sales of beer, mostly due to changes in consumption pattern and shift in consumer preference towards other alcoholic beverages. Despite the tough competition faced by beer from different alcoholic beverages, the rise in beer consumption in developing economies such as South Africa, Mexico, and India, is expected to drive the growth of the growlers market during the forecast period.
The primary factors driving the growth of growlers market is the changing consumer demand to experience a large variety of taste and flavors. Moreover, governments in various countries (Oregon being one of the pioneers) are promoting the use of growlers to promote safe storage of alcoholic beverages.

Increased Consumption of Pre-Packaged Food Augmenting Sales of Compostable Foodservice Packaging
Pre-packaged food is packed food whose contents cannot be accessed without tampering with the package, which makes it a safe and hygienic food choice for customers. Factors like convenience, lower prices, busy lifestyles, and low effort are responsible for the growth of pre-packaged and ready-to-eat food, which is shaping the compostable foodservice packaging market.

This is increasing the demand for pre-packaged food. The preference of customers for hygienic packaging is making brands shift towards more sustainable packaging materials. A recent example could be aseptic carton ready-to-drink beverages and replacing plastic straws with paper straws.
