According to Technavio's analysts, the global plastic food container market is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and will post a CAGR of close to 5% during the forecast period. The growing consumption of processed and packaged food items will drive the growth prospects for the global plastic food container market until the end of 2021. Some of the major factors responsible for the growing demand for plastic food containers to preserve packaged food products are the increasing level of disposable incomes in South America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and APAC, the rising middle-class population, busy lifestyles, and the growing preference for packaged ready-to-cook meals and beverages. Moreover, the market is witnessing a high trend for intelligent packaging solutions that can improve safety and convenience, monitor freshness, and extend product shelf life, which not only increases the sales volume of plastic food containers and plastic storage boxes but also drives the demand for single-sized containers.
The growing popularity of biodegradable rigid plastic packaging will drive the growth prospects for the global plastic food container market for the next four years. These products are made from petrochemicals with biodegradable additives that can be easily broken down by micro-organisms and reduce the toxic effect on the environment, which, in turn, will propel the rate of revenue generation in the global plastic food storage container market.
The global plastic food container market is highly competitive and diversified due to the presence of a large number of regional and international vendors across the globe.

These plastic storage boxes vendors are increasingly competing against each other based on factors such as product offerings, differentiation, and pricing.
