Paper Trays Market Set to Surge at 5.8% CAGR, to Reach US$ 10,758 Million by 2035: Fact.MR Report

2025-07-01  |  07:55:06

Eco-friendly shift in food packaging fuels steady growth in the paper trays market, driven by sustainability trends and regulatory support.

ROCKVILLE, MD, UNITED STATES, July 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global paper trays market is anticipated to grow from USD 5,840 million in 2024 to USD 10,758 million by 2035, registering a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period (2025–2035).

This growth is primarily driven by the increasing demand for sustainable and biodegradable packaging solutions, especially in the foodservice and retail sectors. With stricter environmental regulations being implemented worldwide and a growing shift in consumer preferences toward eco-friendly alternatives to plastic, paper trays are emerging as a viable, low-impact packaging option.

Key Drivers of the Paper Trays Market

The primary growth driver for the paper trays market is the global push toward sustainable packaging solutions. Heightened awareness of plastic pollution, along with regulatory bans on single-use plastics—particularly in regions like the European Union, North America, and parts of Asia—are accelerating the shift toward eco-friendly alternatives such as paper trays. This trend is especially prominent in the foodservice, healthcare, and consumer goods sectors.

Another major driver is the rise in food delivery and takeaway services, a trend intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Restaurants and cloud kitchens are increasingly adopting paper trays due to their hygienic, safe, and environmentally conscious qualities. Additionally, the expansion of retail chains and supermarkets is fueling demand for food-grade packaging that meets both consumer expectations and sustainability goals.

Challenges and Restraints in the Paper Trays Market

Despite growing demand, the paper trays market faces several challenges. Cost remains a major concern—paper trays typically have higher production costs than plastic alternatives due to expensive raw materials (like virgin or recycled pulp) and resource-intensive manufacturing processes. Added coatings for moisture resistance also raise costs.

Durability is another limitation. Paper trays may not perform well with high-moisture or greasy foods unless treated with barrier layers, which can hinder recyclability or compostability, reducing their environmental appeal.

Furthermore, a lack of widespread composting infrastructure in many regions limits proper disposal options. Without access to industrial composting, businesses and consumers may struggle to dispose of used trays sustainably, which could slow adoption despite rising environmental concerns.

Country-Wise Outlook

The United States holds the largest share of the global paper trays market, driven by a nationwide push to reduce plastic use, growing consumer preference for sustainable packaging, and increased adoption by retailers and foodservice providers. The demand for compostable and recyclable trays is accelerating, particularly within quick service restaurants (QSRs), school meal programs, and institutional catering.

In Europe, Germany stands out as a key market, propelled by the Packaging Act, stringent recycling regulations, and proactive alignment with the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive. Demand is especially strong in the fresh produce, meat, and bakery segments, where paper trays offer a compliant, eco-friendly packaging alternative.

Competitive Analysis

The paper trays market is highly competitive, driven by sustainability mandates, material innovation, and evolving regulatory frameworks. Companies are focusing on cost-effective, biodegradable, and recyclable tray solutions to reduce reliance on single-use plastics.

Key competition centers on molded fiber and pulp-based technologies, where moisture resistance, heat tolerance, and performance are crucial. Investments in automation, M&A activity, and regional expansion are helping improve production efficiency and lower carbon footprints.

Brands differentiate through eco-certifications (e.g., FSC, compostable labels) and application versatility across foodservice, retail, and fresh produce. While large firms benefit from global reach, smaller players often target niche, premium eco-packaging segments. Tightening regulations further intensify the competitive landscape.

Key Players: Mondi Group, Huhtamaki, International Paper, BillerudKorsnäs, UFP Technologies, CS Packaging, Stora Enso, Novolex, Orcon Industries, Athena Superpack, Henry Molded Products, and others.

Recent Developments:

May 2025: Marks & Spencer launched an FSC-certified, oven- and microwave-safe recyclable tray for ready meals.
Oct 2024: Yangi introduced a dry-formed fibre tray, fully recyclable and ideal for meat, ready meals, and takeaways.

Ślązacy wciąż nie są uznani za mniejszość etniczną. Temat języka śląskiego wraca do debaty publicznej i prac parlamentarnych

W Polsce 600 tys. osób deklaruje narodowość śląską, a 460 tys. mówi po śląsku. Kwestia uznania etnolektu śląskiego za język regionalny od lat wzbudza żywe dyskusje. Zwolennicy zmiany statusu języka śląskiego najbliżej celu byli w 2024 roku, ale nowelizację ustawy o mniejszościach narodowych i etnicznych zablokowało prezydenckie weto. Ostatnio problem wybrzmiał podczas debaty w Parlamencie Europejskim, ale zdaniem Łukasza Kohuta z PO na forum UE również trudna jest walka o prawa mniejszości etnicznych i językowych.

Polacy z niejednoznacznymi opiniami na temat autonomicznych pojazdów. Wiedzą o korzyściach, ale zgłaszają też obawy

Polacy widzą w pojazdach autonomicznych szansę na poprawę bezpieczeństwa na drogach i zwiększenie mobilności osób starszych czy z niepełnosprawnościami. Jednocześnie rozwojowi technologii AV towarzyszą obawy, m.in. o utratę kontroli nad pojazdem czy o większą awaryjność niż w przypadku tradycyjnych aut – wynika z prowadzonych przez Łukasiewicz – PIMOT badań na temat akceptacji społecznej dla AV. Te obawy wskazują, że rozwojowi technologii powinna także towarzyszyć edukacja, zarówno kierowców, jak i pasażerów. Eksperci mówią także o konieczności transparentnego informowania o możliwościach i ograniczeniach AV.

70 proc. Polaków planuje wyjazd na urlop w sezonie letnim 2025. Do łask wracają wakacje last minute

Ponad 70 proc. Polaków planuje wyjechać na urlop w sezonie letnim, czyli między końcem czerwca a końcem września – wynika z badania Polskiej Organizacji Turystycznej. 35 proc. zamierza wyjechać tylko raz, a 30 proc. – co najmniej dwa razy. Z grupy wyjeżdżających jedna trzecia wybierze się na wyjazd zagraniczny. Jak wskazuje Katarzyna Turosieńska z Polskiej Izby Turystyki, po kilku latach ponownie do łask wracają oferty last minute, a zagraniczne kierunki pozostają niezmienne – prym wiodą m.in. Grecja, Tunezja, Egipt czy Hiszpania.
