 “A gradual shift from plastic foodservice packaging to greener material-based paper foodservice packaging has been witnessed in the past year. Biodegradable materials such as wood, corn starch, etc. offer sustainability added with proper packaging. Therefore, they have become ideal for making foodservice packaging,” says an FMI analyst.

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.

Pouches and sachets are highly suited to pre-packaged food. The rise in portion-size food packs and healthy packaged foods is shaping the growth of pre-packaged foods. High-end machines and fast food processing and packaging equipment are responsible for the fast-paced growth of packaged food.

FMCG companies are hopping on the RTE (ready-to-eat) bandwagon and providing healthier varieties of existing snacks like cookies, chips, and candy. 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.
