Conventional food cup manufacturers used to produce cups that could be reheated in a microwave, to a certain extent. However, they refrained from making any specific guarantees, due to varying abilities of microwave ovens. The need for microwavable versions was only realized once the consumption of case-ready meals and on-the-go snacks increased across the globe, fueled by a shift in the lifestyles of consumers. The rise in consumption of convenience foods and snacks such as macaroni, gourmet food, and soup, among others has led to the growth in demand for microwavable cups market. Conventional cups may consist of an inner-layer of thin plastic, which, if not FDA-approved, is unsafe for microwavable foods. This creates absolute need for microwavable cups which ensure food quality and yet remain heat-resistant. The same trend is expected to continue well beyond the forecast period. Thus, microwavable cups market is expected to witness substantial demand.
Some of the key players operating in the global microwavable cups market are – The Kraft Group, LLC, Interpress Technologies, Inc., Greiner Packaging GmbH, KeepCup, and Capitol Cups, among others.
The global microwavable cups market is characterized by the presence of medium-to-small companies.
Key Trends and developments in the microwavable cups market –
  • Brands such as Nissin are using customization as a key strategy for consumer engagement. In August 2015,Nissin introduced their first microwavable cup noodles, having an additional customization feature, which enabled the customers to customize their cup with healthier meal choices. The new meal allows the noodles to be microwaved in under 2 ½ minutes.
  • In February 2015, Greiner Packaging GmbH won an award for its innovative packaging solution for Saga-Foods Zrt, which is a Hungary-based food processing company.

The cups have a printed paper overwrap, and are also available in a high barrier EVOH blend for applications with additional barrier requirement.

4 Key Takeaways from TMR Report on Squeezable Films Market

The way in which consumers perceive and interact with packaged products is a constantly evolving process, and has long influenced the packaging industry. Convenience and sustainability are two of the key focus areas for the development of new packaging products. This has led to the rise of flexible packaging format, and gradual replacement of conventional rigid packaging solutions with their flexible alternatives. The transition towards flexible packaging has led to the development of several innovating packaging formats, including squeezable variants. Squeezable packaging solutions have been adopted for food products such as cream cheese. However, the key challenge posed by squeezable packaging is to use efficient squeezable films, which possesses high flexibility and conformability. The requirement for flexible films which could cover round shapes with thin walls led to the introduction of squeezable films.
