The ongoing Russia Ukraine war has affected the supply chain of diversified metals and mining. With the high fluctuation in prices and limited supply of products, the demand for diversified metals and mining is expected to decline moderately in 2022. In addition, Europe is highly dependent on Russian energy sources, such as metals, coal, and crude oil. The ongoing sanctions on Russia have destabilized the demand supply curve for diversified metals and mining that are used in the abovementioned industries.

Food Storage Market Overview

Key Driver

Growing preference for durable and lightweight containers is the key factor driving the growth of the market. An increase in the number of supermarkets and hypermarkets offering fresh produce will have a positive impact on market growth. Therefore, the top market players strive to maintain the brand image and value of their products. In addition, the growth of organized retail is changing consumer shopping behavior. As a result, market players are developing new formats, sizes, and shapes to meet enduser needs.

Furthermore, some players also offer polycarbonate containers that are colored to allow users to see what's inside. Manufacturers seek to provide the hospitality industry with innovative, durable, and quality products. Hence, a growing preference for durable and lightweight products will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Significant Trends

An increase in demand for glass containers is the primary trend in the market. Glass products are more durable and can store food longer than other food items. Glass items are also used to store food at room temperature,  keeping food fresh longer. Many end users prefer specially designed glass vessels for freezing and reheating.

Moreover, glass products are resistant to stains and peeling, and the food stored inside does not retain the taste or smell. Improved shape glass items are manufactured to be shatterresistant, but endusers should be careful when handling such containers. Therefore, increasing demand for glass products will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. 

Major Challenge

Environmental issues and regulatory requirements is a challenge that affects the growth of the market. Most endusers prefer plastic food items mainly due to their low cost and high durability. However, given the current US  food storage products market scenario, many food service operators face significant costs in addressing environmental concerns related to harmful chemicals found in plastics.

Besides, the polymer molecules present in these plastic items migrate into the food. Polymer molecules affect the quality of food, so eating food causes serious damage. In some cases, plastics can decompose, releasing monomers and other chemicals that can be a health hazard. Therefore, environmental issues and regulatory requirements will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Market Segmentation By Type

Market Type Analysis

The round segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Round containers are believed to take up more space than rectangular or square containers. Depending on the food, customers choose different sizes of the containers. Some commercial food service endusers choose storage containers that can hold more than 20 gallons of food. Choosing the right products is important for foodservice operators.

Round products are also used to store sauces and other items that need to be stirred before eating. The round shape makes it easy to stir and mix food. Thus, such factors will drive the growth of the market segment during the forecast period. 

Market Enduser Analysis

Based on enduser, the segment is classified into restaurants, catering, hotels, and bars. Restaurants will account for the largest share of this segment. Restaurants are the major endusers of the market. To preserve leftover food, semiprepared food, gravies, and certain perishable raw materials, restaurants use these items which help restaurant owners lower food wastage and make easy provisions while preparing the food.  Due to the rising number of dualincome families and busy lifestyles, people have less time to do their conventional household activities, including preparing food. So people prefer more convenient options rather than traditional household activities. Also, Most millennials prefer onthego food due to a rise in consumer purchasing power. Apart from food takeaways and delivery options, restaurants deliver a variety of food options, such as pizzas, burgers, and Mexican cuisine. Such factors have increased the demand for food services from restaurants in the US, which, in turn, will fuel the market to focus during the forecast period.
