Paper cups, also known as disposable cups, are made from bleached virgin paper pulp and coated with plastic and wax to prevent liquid from soaking through the paper and leaking. They are also coated with polyethylene, which aids in enhancing their durability and performance by controlling the condensed moisture from absorbing in and retaining the original flavor of the product. They are eco-friendly and biodegradable and help in saving time and effort as paper cups do not require cleaning and can be easily discarded after a single use. As a result, paper cups are widely used in India for consuming beverages like tea, coffee, soup, and soft drinks at social gatherings, celebrations, and special occasions. They are also used in hospitals, cafes, restaurants, hotels, and public buildings to prevent the spread of contagious diseases.
At present, the rising consumption of beverages among consumers represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market in India. Besides this, the growing demand for disposable packaging in quick service restaurants (QSRs) and fast-food chains to reduce leakage and spillage of beverages is offering a positive market outlook in the country. Additionally, there is a rise in the need for sustainable and environment friendly solutions among the masses. This, coupled with the increasing demand for paper cups as they easily decompose in the environment and do not add to landfill wastes or pollute water bodies, is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, the wide availability of paper cups through various distribution channels, such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, and convenience, specialty and online stores, is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Moreover, the increasing demand for fancy graphics, attractive designs, and customized paper cups among the masses is positively influencing the market in the country. In addition, the Government of India is encouraging the adoption of paper cups as they are sustainable and do not affect the environment, which is contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, the rising demand for paper cups in hospitals to prevent the spread of germs is strengthening the market growth in India.
