Rapid urbanization and growing residential construction activities are expected to boost the market for disposable tabletop kitchen products in the forecast period. However, Increasing environmental impact with improving kitchen disposable utensil demands could be major market restraints.

Rapid urbanization and growing residential construction activities

Furthermore, consumers are increasingly adopting premium and luxury products due to modern urban lives, smart improvements and visually appealing product innovation by key industry participants at a much cheaper cost.

The increased demand for every day serving ware for domestic use coupled with the improving living standards has improved the adoption of tabletop kitchen products that would save the time of cleaning and reduce the chances of cross-contamination after single-use

U.S. urbanization has accelerated over time and has evolved from a primarily rural, agricultural nation to an urbanized, industrial one over the last two centuries. The aforementioned fact was partly due to U.S. industrial revolution in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and fast industrialization. For instance, In 2019, cities and metropolitan areas accounted for 82.46% of the total population of U.S. This unprecedented shift towards urbanization has created immense demand for disposable tabletop kitchen products. The increasing public gatherings and organization of various events and sports activities in North American countries further accelerate the product's market.

In addition, growing residential activities in the region is another prime driver for the market. According to Zillow, an online real estate marketplace in the U.S., 5.64 million properties were sold in 2020, up 5.6 percent from 2019.

Apart from the rising nuclear family percentage, the increasing trend of food-away-from-home is another factor improving the business of disposable kitchen tabletop products

Meals and snacks provided by commercial food service outlets and eating facilities at non-commercial institutions are included in Food-Away-From-Home. These food service outlets are tremendously improving in North American countries due to the increasing percentage of the youth population in the region, leading to boosting the market for disposable kitchen footwear products in the region.

Increasing environmental impact with improving kitchen disposable utensil demands

Disposable tabletop kitchen products have been in the market for the past few decades and with time, the product has given tough competition to reusable tablet top kitchen products. However, the waste generated from disposable products is not hidden from the world and disposable tabletop kitchen products consume a tremendous amount of resources, including oil, trees, energy and water, throughout their lifecycle, from manufacturing to disposal. For instance, Americans use and throw away about 108 billion disposable cups each year, use 22 billion gallons of oil coupled with the production of 26 billion pounds of CO2 and require harvesting over 20 million trees.

The above number is tremendously hampering the environment, which leads to hampering the growth of disposable tabletop products in the recent period. Due to Increasing disposable plastic usage, the government has to build stringent policies which restrict the overuse of disposable plastic products, thus expected to severely challenge the growth of the product in the forecast period.
