Egypt Disposable Cutlery Market is rapidly expanding, driven by the growth in the foodservice industry, increasing disposable incomes, and changing lifestyles of consumers. The market size is projected to grow during the forecast period, and the trend in the market is toward sustainable and eco-friendly products. However, there are challenges such as raw material price fluctuations, competition, and low brand loyalty.
According to 6Wresearch, the Egypt Disposable Cutlery Market size is anticipated to grow at an estimated CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period of 2025-2031. The disposable cutlery market in Egypt is driven by the growth in the foodservice industry. Egypt has a large population, and people love to eat out, especially during weekends and holidays. This has created a massive demand for disposable cutlery in cafes, restaurants, food trucks, and other foodservice outlets. The trend of sustainable and eco-friendly disposable cutlery is gaining momentum worldwide, and Egypt is no exception. Many companies in Egypt are now producing eco-friendly and biodegradable disposable cutlery. The demand for eco-friendly products is increasing, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. However, one of the significant challenges facing the Egypt Disposable Cutlery Industry is the rising cost of raw materials, including petroleum-based products. Most disposable cutlery is made from plastic, and plastic prices are volatile globally. The cost of importing raw materials is also a significant challenge, which may lead to increased prices for consumers. Nevertheless, the Egypt Disposable Cutlery Market offers several opportunities for investors. The growing food and beverage industry in Egypt is creating a significant market for disposable cutlery. The Egypt government is also supporting investment in the tourism industry, which will further increase the demand for disposable cutlery.
The government has introduced various schemes and policies to promote eco-friendly and sustainable products. One of these policies is the mandatory plastic bag fee introduced in 2017, which aimed to promote the use of environmentally friendly disposable items such as cutlery. Another policy introduced by the government is the waste management scheme aimed at promoting responsible waste disposal. This scheme has led to an increase in demand for biodegradable and compostable products, such as cutlery. The government has implemented various measures to ensure that all waste generated is effectively managed and recycled, further promoting the use of sustainable products in the country.
Several key players are actively contributing in the Egypt disposable cutlery market growth. Companies like Emirates National Plastic Industries, East Nile Plastics, and Al Amal Plastic Industries are some of the leading players in this market. Another key player in the Egypt Disposable Cutlery Market is the retail industry. Leading retail chains such as Carrefour Egypt, Hyper One, and Spinneys have contributed significantly to the Egypt Disposable Cutlery Market Growth.
According to Suryakant, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, the forks accounted for the largest share of the market, followed closely by spoons and knives due to their extensive use in foodservice outlets.
By Fabrication Process, thermoforming accounted for the largest share of the market, owing to its high speed of production, low energy cost, and low tooling costs. On the other hand, die-cutting has higher tooling costs and requires more time for production.
By End-Use, the food service outlet segment is expected to lead the Egypt Disposable Cutlery Market Share. With a growing culture of on-the-go dining, people are increasingly relying on foodservice outlets for their meals. Institutional food services segment includes schools, universities, and other governmental organizations that provide competitively priced meals to employees and students.
