Polystyrene cups will post the most rapid gains through 2020. As it becomes more common to snack throughout the day rather than prepare meals, healthy foods that are portable and pre-packaged will continue to gain favor. Packaging products in this way can also drive revenues for food producers, as it allows items to be sold at a premium.
Fresh fruits and vegetables have seen some of the largest gains attributable to this trend. Polystyrene cups are used for coffee and tea will see the fastest growth of any major packaging market due to the popularity of single cup brewing systems (though growth has moderated in recent years based on market maturity), and packaging cups for dairy products continue to show favorable increases due to the popularity of premium yogurt.
Hot beverage cups will see healthy gains, driven by the popularity of premium coffee and the use of high-value insulated paper cups.
