Summary

• For the initial research, we tried identifying as much of the requested information as possible. Research indicates that information or statistics specific to a market share for buyers of coffee lids and number of coffee lids sold does not appear publicly available. However, we were able to identify insights on global manufacturers of single-use disposable lids and coffee cups. We were able to identify the main players as well as some initial insights on the first two leading manufacturers of single-use/disposable lids and coffee cups.
• For this hour, we also tried to identify the total number lids or cups sold and the market share of the identified manufacturers, however information on this did not appear immediately available. We found that Georgia-Pacific and Dart are privately held companies and thus do not release financial or sales data. We also found that some of the top global manufacturers are from the US.
• Research suggests that the main buyers of coffee lids or cups are coffee and fast-food chains. We can continue the research in order to find additional insights on this and for the leading manufacturers found.
