What are the key impulses behind the demand for edible cutlery?

“Replacement for plastic, rising sustainability concerns impelling the demand for edible cutlery as plastic”

Packaging manufacturers are looking to develop alternatives that can reduce the carbon footprint. Edible cutlery goes well with the current consumer trend for solutions with an appealing appearance. Edible cutlery is manufactured in a variety of colors and flavors, which has been driving the edible cutlery market.

Growing end-user preference for edible cutlery over conventional formats is driving the demand for this product. In addition, the increasing number of government initiatives and efforts for sustainability is also expected to boost the demand for edible cutlery in the coming years.

Despite having a positive outlook, the global edible cutlery market might face several hurdles in terms of transportation and handling. The cost associated with edible cutlery may also restrain the growth of the edible cutlery market.

There is often a concern with plastic cutleries regarding toxins and the number of carcinogens that can leach into the food ecosystem. The further plastic ecosystem is intended to occupy landfills which is harmful to the environment. The need for the replacement of plastic is the major reason why manufacturers are looking for edible cutlery products. These can be biodegradable which can be converted to compost and considered as sustainable for the environment.

What are the restraints faced by edible cutlery Manufacturers?

“Improper Positioning and strategies problems deterring penetration of edible cutleries”

The major hurdle faced by the manufacturers is conservationism in products. These products often seem not to stand on consumer preferences despite being environmentally suitable. The lack of appealing marketing strategies is hindering manufacturers to gain large attention in the market. There is a positioning problem around these cutlery products owing to which users are not attracted to these products. Vendors find it complex to maintain low prices and ensure high marginal profit which further erodes the market growth for edible cutleries.

Consumer behavior will take some time to turn in the favour of edible cutlery adoption. Eating the spoon itself will take time for the consumer to shape their changes which is anticipated to take time in the forecast period. Manufacturers in edible cutleries are likely to focus on the marketing and positioning of products to maintain market position and gain a competitive advantage over others.

  • Mede Cutlery Company manufactures edible cutlery in attractive colors with new flavors of purple potato, sesame, and corn.

Segment wise analysis

“Chocolate Flavored edible cutleries to dominate the market”

Chocolate edible cutleries including spoons and bowls are dominating the market owing to their preference by all age people. Further, there is already sufficient acceptance for the chocolate wafers cones which are eatable along with ice-creams. This has raised the acceptance of chocolate cutleries in the market and is anticipated to see a rise in the forecast period.

“Edible spoons amount to more than 35% share of total edible cutleries in 2019”
