Italy Disposable Tableware - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2030)
Market Report I 2025-04-28 I 160 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The Italy Disposable Tableware Market size is estimated at USD 698.29 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 920.01 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.67% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
In Italy, the demand for disposable tableware has seen a notable upswing, driven by a growing number of commercial establishments, like restaurants and hotels, embracing its usage. These businesses favor disposable tableware for convenience, as it eliminates the need for washing. Its lightweight design and versatility make it a preferred choice for serving large crowds, finding popularity in venues ranging from stadiums to parties. Additionally, its hygienic benefits are particularly valued during outdoor events.
The surge in disposable tableware's popularity is further fueled by modern lifestyle shifts, focusing on convenience in small gatherings, picnics, and camping. Not only has its affordability attracted household consumers, but there is also a deeper market penetration. Moreover, as the spotlight on environmental sustainability intensifies, there is a growing appetite for eco-friendly and biodegradable alternatives. In response, manufacturers are introducing products with minimal ecological footprints.
Italy made a significant move last year by adopting the European Single-Use Plastics (SUP) directive. The directive focuses on reducing the consumption of neither biodegradable nor compostable plastics. Italy's version of the directive diverges from the EU's stance by excluding compostable plastics from its restrictions. Consequently, while traditional disposable plastic tableware is now prohibited, there is a noticeable increase in adopting eco-friendly alternatives, especially those crafted from 100% biodegradable materials. Italy shines within the EU for its robust recycling initiatives, boasting a municipal waste recycling rate exceeding 51.3%, with an impressive 79% of the collected waste finding its way back into the recycling loop. Italy's prowess extends beyond recycling rates; the country boasts a well-established network of local waste management entities.
