What are the purchasing trends in the water glass market in 2021(1)?

The first quarter of 2021 has ended, and all exhibitions concentrated in April have also ended. In the water bottle market, what trends are there in the purchase selection of buyers in the new year?

Through the comparison of the exhibition and the comparison of customer procurement requirements in the first 4 months of 2021, we found the changes in materials. Take stainless steel water cups and plastic water cups as examples. In previous years, when considering the purchase cost, more purchasers would purchase stainless steel water cups as 304 stainless steel inside and 201 stainless steel outside. Although 201 stainless steel cannot be used as a food-grade material, considering the lack of direct contact with water and the cost, most buyers still choose this combination.

However, the changes this year are more obvious. There are still buyers who choose this combination, but they have become a very small number. More and more buyers not only require 304 stainless steel inside and outside, but at the same time, according to the needs of the order, they have begun to require more 316 stainless steel for the inner wall and 304 stainless steel for the outer wall.

Such a change will increase the production cost of the product while improving the material quality of stainless steel water cups. In this way, the retail price of the global stainless steel water cup market will surely rise significantly this year.

The same goes for purchasing plastic water cups. In previous years, the use of PC and AS materials has become less, and the use of TRITAN has become more and more popular. At the same time, the use of PLA, an environmentally friendly material, is also becoming the first choice of global plastic cup buyers. The improvement of materials shows that the global market is shifting to a healthy type of materials. Different markets around the world have also begun to attach importance to the environmental protection of materials and raise their environmental awareness.

Through these analyses, in 2021, environmentally friendly, safe and harmless materials suitable for use in water cups will be valued and sought after by the market, and which inferior materials will be gradually eliminated by the market.

Due to the use of environmentally friendly materials and high-performance stainless steel, the production cost of the product is increased. This will also directly cause global water cup procurement and production in 2021 to enter a steady and slow upward period, and even a decline in sales in some more special markets.
