Biodegradable cups are gaining popularity in beverage packaging, as they are eco-friendly, sustainable, and help in reducing carbon footprint. The increase in beverage consumption globally would drive the biodegradable cups market, owing to the switch made by the end users from plastic cups to PLA lined paper cups and bio-plastic cups. Manufacturers across the globe have been involved in the development and customization of products to meet the end user expectations.
Biodegradable cups are made of bio-plastics such as Polylactic acid (PLA) and Polybutylene succinate (PBS). PLA is a thermoplastic derived from sources such as starch, sugarcane, and others, and has properties similar to those of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). Replacing the PE lining in paper cups with PLA makes it biodegradable.
Biodegradable cups are eco-friendly and sustainable, which make them better alternative to plastic cups. They have a wide range of applications in food service outlets, institutional, and household. The rising awareness regarding the adverse effects of plastics on the environment has led to increased consumption of biodegradable cups among consumers. Moreover, the increasing demand for sustainable packaging solutions from the beverage industry is propelling the biodegradable cups market.
The Asia Pacific is expected to hold approximately 30% share of the market, owing to consumer preference and stringent government regulations. The Asia Pacific biodegradable cups market is likely to expand 1.4x the current market value creating an incremental opportunity of US$ 58 Mn by the end of the forecast period.
On-the-go and Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Beverages Augmenting Sales of Biodegradable Cups
The increasing use of eco-friendly and sustainable packaging continues to be the prime focus of the foodservice stakeholders. The on-the-go and ready-to-drink culture have been witnessing speedy growth due to the increased preference by millennial. The rising health and wellness awareness among consumers has led to increased consumption of organic tea and coffee, juices, and health beverages, thereby augmenting the sales of biodegradable cups.
In addition, the increase of coffee chains across the globe has further accelerated the demand for biodegradable cups. On a broader level, the on-the-go and ready-to-drink trends are estimated to create significant growth of the biodegradable cups market during the forecast period.

Availability of Bioplastic Materials for Biodegradable Cups to Drive Global Market
Bioplastic as a material for biodegradable cups is estimated to be worth US$ 260.7 Mn, registering a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period. The bioplastic used for biodegradable cups is Polylactic acid (PLA) and Polybutylene succinate (PBS), derived from renewable resources such as corn starch, sugarcane, sawdust, vegetable fats, and oils, among others.
The properties of bioplastics such as flexibility, printability, heat resistance, durability, etc. give an edge over the conventionally used plastic materials. The demand for bio-based products is relatively lower than that of paper, although it is consistently increasing. It is estimated that bio-based alternatives including bio-plastics hold 6% of the total plastics packaging segment.
