Tableware products are the dishes or dishware used for setting the table, serving food, and dining. They come in several materials, such as plastic, glass, and ceramic. The growth of the foodservice industry and high consumer preference for convenience products are the major factors driving the growth of the plastic tableware market. The growth of the organized retail sector in Asia-Pacific is further boosting the market growth.

However, the ban on plastic use in various countries is restricting the growth of the global plastic tableware market.

The growth of the residential sector in the region and the increasing number of immigrants in the US and Canada are also boosting the sale of plastic tableware in these countries as they are affordable and durable. Additionally, online retailing is gaining traction in North America, especially in the US. Online stores are becoming the fastest-growing distribution channel in the US. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the plastic tableware market in North America during the forecast period.
