Demand for cups and lids increasing
US demand for cups and lids is expected to increase 4.4 percent per year to $8.2 billion in 2014. Gains will be driven by expanding food service revenues and favorable prospects for food service packaging cups. In addition, cup and lid demand will be supported by heightened emphasis on premium coffee by quick service restaurants and continued introductions of alternative beverages in food service establishments to offset the maturity of the soft drinks segment. Moreover, value gains will be bolstered by increasing demand for environmentally friendly cups, such as cups made from higher-value biodegradable resins or recycled content. These and other trends are presented in Cups & Lids, a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry market research firm.

The new material, Total Petrochemicals’ Lumicene® M3382MZ polypropylene, produces thermoformed parts with superior clarity and gloss and excellent side wall stiffness. The resin is ideal for deli containers, drinking cups, lids, domes and food service trays when high clarity and stiffness are important.
