The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Paper Cups Market Report by Cup Type (Cold Paper Cups, Hot Paper Cups), Wall Type (Single Wall, Double Wall, Triple Wall), Application (Tea and Coffee, Chilled Food and Beverage, and Other Food and Beverages), End User (Coffee and Tea Shops, QSR and Other Fast Food Shops, Offices and Educational Institutions, Residential Use, and Others), Distribution Channel (Institutional Sales, Retail Sales), and Region 2025-2033,” finds that the global paper cups market size reached USD 7.0 Billion in 2024. Paper cups refer to disposable cups used by individuals for serving food and beverages. They are coated with polyethylene, which helps increase durability and performance by preventing condensed moisture from soaking, spillage, or leakage. Nowadays, paper cups are gaining traction among the masses, especially the working population, due to their eco-friendly nature, cost-effectiveness, ease of handling, and enhanced convenience. Moreover, these cups are also utilized across commercial establishments, such as food joints, restaurants, cafes and educational institutions.

Global Paper Cups Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by the increasing environmental concerns among the masses. In addition, the growing focus on sustainable development has impelled individuals to use paper-based alternatives over plastic disposables. Besides this, governments of numerous countries are undertaking various initiatives to impose a ban on plastics and reduce carbon emissions. This, coupled with the rising product adoption in hotels, restaurants, and cafes (HoReCa) for dine-in serving and takeaway purposes, is positively influencing the market growth. Moreover, the emergence of online food delivery platforms, the inflating disposable incomes of individuals, and continuous product innovations are some of the other factors propelling the market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach USD 9.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.9% during 2025-2033.
