US Restaurant Reopening: COVID-19 Impact on Supplies

At The Freedonia Group, we are actively monitoring company and industry reports on how the COVID-19 outbreak is impacting demand, investment, and industry consolidation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the US foodservice industry in 2020. Sharp revenue and employment declines and widespread restaurant closures in the early part of the year have led to lingering revenue weakness and widespread changes in operations. This has had a varying effect on the use of key supplies such as single-use foodservice packaging and disinfectants and has opened up new outlets for facemasks and shields.

Disposable masks used in foodservice applications are similar to the surgical and patient care masks primarily used by the healthcare industry. Excluded from coverage in this report are all reusable masks,
cloth or textile masks, fashion masks, holiday masks, and homemade masks.

Face shields are classified as adjunctive personal protective equipment. They are generally used in conjunction with masks rather than by themselves. Face shields provide a second layer of protection and reduce the spread of bodily fluids, viruses, bacteria, and chemicals that could cause illness. Face shields cover the eyes, nose, and mouth and also have the benefit of keeping people from touching their faces. Excluded from this report are industrial-style face shields and sports face shields.

Scope of the Report
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the US foodservice industry in 2020. This study covers the US restaurant market for disposable/single-use products that restaurants are expected to need in order to safely reopen and operate during the pandemic. These items are:

• disinfecting products, including surface disinfecting wipes and I&I disinfectants and sanitizers
• disposable face masks and face shields
• single-use foodservice products, including containers and lids, beverage cups, lids and sleeves, bags and other flexible packaging, and serviceware
