中东和非洲纸杯市场－份额分析、产业趋势、统计和成长预测（2026-2031）

2025年中东和非洲纸杯市场价值为7.3409亿美元，预计到2031年将达到9.5689亿美元，高于2026年的7.6727亿美元。

预计在预测期（2026-2031 年）内，复合年增长率将达到 4.52%。

旅游业的强劲復苏、外带平台的蓬勃发展以及区域加工商对阻隔涂层创新技术的持续投资，共同推动了纸杯市场的成长。波湾合作理事会（GCC）国家的监管期限正在加速材料替代。同时，工厂效率的提升和企业净零排放蓝图的製定，也增强了对经认证的可堆肥涂层的需求。市场竞争较为温和。跨国公司正在整合其区域布局以降低成本，而主要企业则在投资太阳能发电厂和生物降解技术，以巩固其在酒店和快餐店渠道的品牌客户。儘管在一些依赖进口的撒哈拉以南非洲市场，原材料价格波动和电力短缺问题依然存在，但包括特色咖啡馆、机构餐饮和便利店在内的多元化终端用户群体，仍然有利于纸杯市场的收入成长。

中东和非洲纸杯市场趋势与分析

外带热饮文化蓬勃发展

在海湾合作委员会（GCC）城市，专门食品咖啡连锁店、职场餐饮和交通枢纽的外带消费正在蓬勃发展，推动了纸杯市场对优质热咖啡需求的结构性增长。预计到2028年，海湾合作委员会地区的饭店餐饮业收入将达到481亿美元，2022年至2028年的复合年增长率（CAGR）为7.5%。国际观光人数预计将以每年8.1%的速度成长，达到1.162亿人次。饭店和咖啡馆正利用差异化的咖啡杯设计来强化品牌形象，尤其是在杜拜计划举办400场国际活动以及卡达每年举办80多场展览的情况下。预计到2030年，咖啡连锁店的数量将以5.25%的复合年增长率增长，这反映了年轻一代偏好的变化，他们将西方的咖啡文化与传统的阿拉伯咖啡仪式相结合。营运商在每家新店分店都会统一采用可持续的热咖啡杯规格，这进一步促进了纸杯市场的渗透。

政府禁止使用一次性塑胶製品（海湾合作委员会、南部非洲发展共同体）

自COP28以来，管理体制加速发展，促使企业即时从塑胶转向纸包装。阿联酋于2006年禁止使用硬质聚苯乙烯杯，并在阿布达比环境署的主导下，于2022年分阶段将限制范围扩大至杯盖、汤匙和刀叉餐具。杜拜机场于2020年全面禁用一次性塑胶製品，而沙乌地阿拉伯则在2017年至2019年间分三个阶段逐步淘汰塑胶製品。这些政策框架迫使速食连锁店、饭店和零售商优先选择可回收且符合未来生产者延伸责任制（EPR）要求的纤维基包装，凸显了监管对纸杯市场的巨大推动力。

分散式转换器基础设施给利润率带来压力

数百家小规模加工商主要专注于单价竞争，这限制了规模经济，并抑制了对高性能涂层的投资。随着Huhtamaki整合其在阿联酋的生产，以及Hot Pack World在迪拜运作一家多生产线工厂，市场格局正在分化：大型公司赢得酒店和跨国快餐连锁店的合同，而小规模企业则继续留在普通商品领域。利润率的压力限制了小规模工厂的研发预算，减缓了纸杯市场技术的广泛应用。

细分市场分析

到2025年，热饮杯将占纸杯市场62.40%的份额，而冷饮杯则是成长最快的细分市场，预计复合年增长率将达到4.74%。诸如沿岸地区 Planet的EarthCoating-Bio（可减少高达51%的塑胶含量）等技术创新，正在解决冷饮包装中的冷凝和阻隔性问题。快餐连锁店和便利商店正在拓展饮品菜单，增加冰沙和蛋白奶昔等产品，从而推动了对耐用冷饮杯的需求，这类冷饮杯即使在海湾地区常见的40°C高温下也能保持饮品品质。虽然热饮杯在机构餐饮和办公室咖啡服务领域仍占据主导地位，但双层壁结构的创新使餐饮业者能够减少杯套库存，提升顾客舒适度，从而确保纸杯市场的持续需求。

夏季气温升高时，冰饮需求激增，零售商会订购印有定製图案的季节性冷饮杯，用于品牌推广。这种季节性需求与入境旅游旺季重合，进一步加剧了夏季季度的收入集中。同时，小型烘焙咖啡馆和精品茶饮店则偏好纹理丰富的热饮杯，以实现触感上的差异化。对这两个细分市场的持续投资将确保纸杯市场的整体均衡成长。

预计到2025年，聚乙烯内衬纸杯将占据纸杯市场70.80%的份额，这主要得益于其稳定的性能和成本竞争力。然而，随着企业采购商采用零塑胶采购指南，聚乳酸（PLA）和其他可堆肥涂层预计将以4.83%的复合年增长率扩大其市场份额。水性分散技术在保持油和水阻隔性能的同时，也能透过标准的纸张回收流程实现可再生，从而促进城市垃圾分类。海湾合作委员会（GCC）地区的连锁饭店已在其采购文件中纳入可堆肥认证，这标誌着市场结构正在向环保涂层转变。

由于其热封强度高，聚乙烯内衬纸杯在热灌装应用中仍占据主导地位，但塑胶含量降低三分之一的混合基材正迅速获得监管部门的核准。早期投资于水性或矿物基阻隔技术的加工商正凭藉与跨国食品服务品牌的合作获得先发优势，并巩固其在高端纸杯市场的地位。

第七章 市场机会与未来展望

The Middle-East and Africa paper cups market was valued at USD 734.09 million in 2025 and estimated to grow from USD 767.27 million in 2026 to reach USD 956.89 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 4.52% during the forecast period (2026-2031).

A robust tourism rebound reinforces growth, the proliferation of food-delivery platforms, and sustained investments by regional converters in barrier-coating innovation. Regulatory deadlines in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations are accelerating material substitution, while improving mill efficiency and corporate net-zero roadmaps strengthen demand for certified compostable coatings. Competitive intensity is moderate: multinational incumbents consolidate regional footprints to reduce costs, and local champions deploy capital toward solar-powered plants and biodegradable technologies to secure brand accounts across hospitality and quick-service restaurant (QSR) channels. Although raw-material volatility and electricity shortages persist in several import-dependent and Sub-Saharan markets, a diversified end-user base-spanning specialty cafes, institutional catering, and convenience retail-maintains a favorable baseline for revenue expansion in the paper cups market.

Middle-East And Africa Paper Cups Market Trends and Insights

Surging on-the-Go Hot-Drink Culture

Specialty coffee chains, workplace catering, and transit hubs are normalizing grab-and-go consumption across GCC cities, causing a structural uplift in premium hot-cup demand in the paper cups market. GCC hospitality revenue is projected to reach USD 48.1 billion by 2028, marking a 7.5% CAGR from 2022, and international arrivals are on an 8.1% annual trajectory to 116.2 million visitors. Hotels and cafes leverage differentiated cup graphics to reinforce brand identity, particularly during Dubai's targeted 400 global events and Qatar's 80-plus annual exhibitions. A 5.25% CAGR in coffee-chain volume through 2030 mirrors shifting consumer preferences among younger demographics who balance Western cafe culture with traditional Arabic coffee rituals. With every incremental store opening, operators standardize sustainable hot-cup specifications, thereby deepening penetration of the paper cups market.

Government Single-Use Plastic Bans (GCC, SADC)

Regulatory regimes gained momentum after COP28, prompting immediate procurement switches from plastic to paper. The UAE banned rigid polystyrene cups as early as 2006 and, through staged policies led by the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi, extended restrictions to lids, stirrers, and cutlery in 2022. Dubai airports eliminated single-use plastics in 2020, while Saudi Arabia executed a three-stage plastic phase-out between 2017 and 2019. These frameworks force QSR chains, hotels, and retailers to favor fiber-based formats compliant with recyclability and future extended producer responsibility (EPR) mandates, underscoring the regulatory pull on the paper cups market.

Fragmented Converter Base Squeezing Margins

Hundreds of small converters compete primarily on unit price, limiting scale economies and dampening investments in high-performance coatings. As Huhtamaki consolidates UAE production and Hotpack Global ramps a multi-line Dubai plant, a two-tier structure emerges where large players secure hotel and multinational QSR contracts, while small firms remain trapped in commodity niches. Margin pressures restrict R and D budgets among smaller facilities, slowing broad-based technology diffusion in the paper cups market.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

1. Food-Delivery Platform Expansion
2. Tourism Rebound Powering HORECA Outlets
3. Chronic Pulp Price Volatility Tied to Currency Swings

Segment Analysis

Cold variants represented the fastest-moving segment with a 4.74% CAGR projection, even as hot cups accounted for a dominant 62.40% share of the paper cups market size in 2025. Technical advances such as Smart Planet's EarthCoating-Bio, which trims plastic content by up to 51%, address condensation and barrier limitations in chilled-drink formats. QSR chains and convenience retailers extend beverage menus to smoothies and protein shakes, elevating demand for durable cold cups that uphold product quality in 40 °C ambient conditions common across the Gulf. Hot cups retain primacy in institutional catering and office coffee service, but double-wall innovations help hospitality operators reduce sleeve inventory and elevate guest comfort, ensuring sustained volume within the paper cups market.

In warmer months, iced beverage volumes surge, prompting retailers to order seasonal cold-cup SKUs with custom prints for brand promotion. This seasonal swing aligns with inbound tourism peaks, reinforcing revenue concentration in the summer quarters. Meanwhile, micro-roaster cafes and boutique tea houses favor textured hot-cup finishes for tactile differentiation. Continuous investments in both segments assure balanced growth across the paper cups market.

Polyethylene linings captured 70.80% of the overall paper cups market share in 2025, thanks to predictable performance and cost competitiveness. Yet polylactic acid and other compostable coatings are gaining a 4.83% CAGR edge as corporate buyers adopt zero-plastic procurement guidelines. Water-based dispersion technology demonstrates recyclability in standard paper streams while matching grease and moisture barriers, easing municipal waste-sorting processes. GCC hotel chains already stipulate compostable credentials in tender documents, signaling a structural pivot toward eco-coatings.

PE-lined cups remain entrenched for high-temperature fill operations because of thermal-sealing robustness, but hybrid substrates that cut plastic content by one-third enjoy faster regulatory clearances. Converters investing early in aqueous or mineral-blend barriers gain first-mover advantages among multinational foodservice brands, consolidating premium tiers of the paper cups market.

The Middle-East and Africa Paper Cups Market is Segmented by Cup Type (Hot Paper Cups, Cold Paper Cups), Material Lining (Polyethylene Coated, Polylactic-Acid Compostable, and More), Application (Quick-Service Restaurants, Institutional Catering, Coffee Chains and Cafes, Retail and Convenience Stores), Capacity (Up To 7 Oz, 8-12 Oz, 13-16 Oz, Above 16 Oz), and Country. The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Value (USD).
