North America is playing a pivotal role in propelling the growth of the bio-based cutlery market. The region is witnessing the entry of numerous start-up companies in both Canada and the USA, setting the stage for significant market expansion in the evaluation period. An increasingly busy, on-the-go consumer base is another key driver boosting the bio-based cutlery market in this region.
Manufacturers in the United States are actively pursuing new opportunities, particularly in the development of edible cutlery crafted from sustainable sources like sorghum, rice, wheat bran, and corn. These edible cutleries are poised to gain substantial popularity in the coming years due to their ability to contribute significantly to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. North America’s dedication to eco-friendly and sustainable solutions positions it as a crucial player in advancing the bio-based cutlery market.

The global bio-based cutlery market is poised for remarkable growth, with an anticipated size of US$35.7 billion in 2022, projected to reach US$39.3 billion by 2032, driven by a substantial CAGR of 12.9% from 2022 to 2032. Escalating awareness surrounding environmental pollution due to escalating plastic waste is expected to propel the demand for bio-based cutlery. The surge in plastic use has contributed to heightened pollution, prompting various governments to enforce stringent regulations against plastic consumption. Consequently, consumers are increasingly gravitating towards wood and bio-plastic-based cutlery.
The proliferation of quick-service restaurants like KFC and McDonald’s worldwide is poised to expedite market growth. These cutleries’ convenience and cost-effectiveness contribute to their appeal. Additionally, the rising popularity of eco-friendly cutlery in gatherings and outdoor events is a pivotal driver. The ease of access to fully degradable paper cups and plates further bolsters the market.
However, the bio-based cutlery industry faces challenges. The reliance on crops like corn and soybeans for production exposes the products to pesticide contamination risks. Technologically advanced composters and processors required for biodegradable plastics contribute to higher production costs. Additionally, certain biodegradable plastics can release methane during decomposition in landfills, potentially hindering the market’s growth trajectory. Balancing eco-friendliness with production challenges remains a critical task for the industry in the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
The bio-based cutlery market is expected to witness significant growth on the backdrop of consumer convenience and growing demand for environment-friendly packaging solutions. In addition, persistent efforts are being made to eliminate/reduce the use of single-use plastic products, which has gradually created growth opportunities for bio-based cutlery in recent years.
In 2018, McDonald’s, KFC, and a few other quick service restaurants stopped the usage of plastic cutlery in several countries such as Singapore, India and France, which is further driving the growth of the bio-based cutlery market. Moreover, the growth of the bio-based cutlery market is hampered by the high cost of raw materials used in the manufacturing of bio-based cutlery.
Regional Overview
In North America, the U.S. is anticipated to lead the bio-based cutlery market during the forecast period. India and China are anticipated to drive significant growth in the Asia Pacific bio-based cutlery market during the assessment period. Furthermore, India and China bio-based cutlery markets are expected to witness significant growth, owing to the growing demand for bio-degradable packaging solutions in such emerging economies. On the other hand, the Europe bio-based cutlery market is expected to witness sluggish growth during the forecast period.
