Sustainability has emerged as a key theme within the North American food packaging industry. In 2019, 4.4 million tons of plastic waste was generated in Canada of which merely 9% was recycled. This has prompted governments to adopt stringent regulations surrounding plastic waste. With the introduction of the Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Regulations in recent years, over 1.3 million tonnes of difficult-to-recycle waste plastic items are expected to be eliminated by 2030. Moreover, over 22,000 tonnes of pollution caused by plastics is also expected to be removed. This is expected to raise the demand for glass and metal straws in Canada over the forecast period.
As per the North America straw market analysis, the demand for reusable silicone straws is also increasing, which is expected to have a positive impact on the market growth. Reusable silicon straws are preferred for their resistance to melting in hot and cold beverages, apart from their colourful features and high degree of convenience. They can be easily cleaned with a bristle cleaner, which makes them more durable as compared to other straws. They are also relatively safer than other types of straws, which often contain harmful chemical substances to make them water-repellent.
Expansion of fast-casual restaurant and dining chains; rising demand for plant-based straws; introduction of wide-diameter straws; and the increasing demand for safe food packaging solutions are favourably influencing the North America straw market dynamics.
Many restaurants like Panda Express, Chipotle, and Cava are expected to establish more stores in US rural areas, which is expected to drive the North America straw market expansion.
Rapid technological advancements in material sciences have enabled food packaging companies to produce plant-based alternatives to plastic straws which have a smaller ecological impact.
Fast food chains like McDonald’s have introduced straws with a larger diameter to enhance the consumers’ experience of having fizzy beverages, highlighting a growing market penetration.
Amidst increasing consumer skepticism surrounding the safety of packaging materials (including drinking straws), the demand for stainless steel straws is expected to soar significantly, which in turn can increase the product’s overall North America straw market share.
A recent study by a group of researchers in Belgium suggested that many paper and bamboo straw manufacturers are adding small amounts of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) to drinking straws to make them water-repellent. PFAS pose a serious health hazard to human health in the long run, since they can cause infertility (in women), prostrate and kidney cancer, lower immunity levels, and delayed development and growth among children. Thus, the shift towards drinking straws made from stainless steel is expected to emerge as one of the significant North America straw market drivers over the forecast period.
