Biodegradable Cutlery Market

The global biodegradable cutlery market is currently experiencing a healthy growth. Biodegradable cutlery refers to compostable tableware that is manufactured using all-natural materials, such as agricultural residues, palm leaves, bamboo, bagasse and cornstarch-based polylactic acid (PLA) plastic. Reusable spoons, knives, forks, straws, stirrers and flatware are the most common variants available in the market. In comparison to plastic- and petroleum-based products, these utensils cause minimal pollution, use lesser energy and produce negligible waste. They release nutrients into the soil upon breakdown, owing to which the utensils can either be stored for future use or converted into compost to improve the quality of farm produce.

Increasing consumer awareness regarding the detrimental effects of using non-biodegradable products is among the key factors driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, the implementation of favorable government regulations discouraging the use of plastic tableware and other products is also providing a boost to the market growth. With the significant expansion in the food and beverage industry, there is an escalating demand for eco-friendly and sustainable cutlery in restaurants, fast food outlets and hotels across the globe. Additionally, biodegradable cutlery is a viable alternative that provides the convenience of disposable utensils at parties, picnics and other occasions, along with an added advantage of minimal negative impact on the eco-system. Other factors, including rising disposable incomes, increasing consumer preference for natural and organic products and extensive research and development (R&D) activities to manufacture innovative and cost-effective products, are projected to drive the market further. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to expand at a CAGR of around 5% during 2020-2025.
