Gather more insights about the market drivers, restraints, and growth of the North America Food Service Disposable market

The growing sustainability concerns leading to a minimal packaging approach are projected to restrain the growth of the market over the forecast period. The rising environmental concerns associated with the exponential increase in disposable waste across the region are further projected to limit the growth over the forecast period. Additionally, fluctuating raw material price is a major challenge for the growth in the forecast period. In 2020, the industry witnessed a contraction in growth due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and lockdowns imposed, resulting in the restricted movement of people and the shutdown of several food service outlets. The outbreak of COVID-19 is likely to shift the paradigm of the food service industry and consumers are likely to be inclined toward online food delivery services, which is expected to increase the demand for the products that are specifically used for online food deliveries.
