Which major factors have contributed to the expansion of the eco-friendly straw market?
The increase in sales of soft drinks and beverages is expected to propel the growth of the eco-friendly straw market going forward. Soft drinks and beverages are non-alcoholic drinks, typically carbonated or flavored, consumed for refreshment and enjoyment. The sales of soft drinks and beverages are rising due to changing consumer preferences for convenient, ready-to-drink options and the continuous introduction of innovative, health-oriented products. Eco-friendly straws are used in the soft drinks and beverages industry as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic straws.
