US Disposable Cutlery Market is valued at approximately USD 2.10 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.67% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Disposable cutlery includes single-use eating utensils such forks, knives, and spoons made of plastic, bamboo, or wood. Disposable utensils which are commonly used at events such as picnics, parties, and catered functions, as well as fast food and takeaway services, prioritizes convenience and hygiene, decreasing the labor and time associated with traditional cutlery while lowering the risk of foodborne illness. The growing use of plant-based materials such as cornstarch and bamboo, as alternatives to conventional plastics is gaining attention in the US Disposable Cutlery Market.
The U.S. Disposable Cutlery Market is driven by several factors such as increasing consumer demand for sustainable products, stringent regulations on single-use plastics, and advancements in biodegradable material technology. Advancements in biodegradable material technology are significantly driving the market by producing materials derived from renewable resources such as cornstarch, sugarcane, and bamboo. These materials decompose more quickly and safely than traditional plastics, reducing environmental impact. Innovations in production techniques have improved the durability and usability of biodegradable cutlery, making it an alternative for consumers and businesses. However, the higher costs of producing biodegradable alternatives and the infrastructure for composting and recycling these materials can hinder the market growth in the forecasts period.
