- Portion cups, used primarily for single servings of sauces, dressings, condiments, and other food items, are essential in foodservice, retail, and household applications due to their convenience, portion control, and hygienic packaging benefits.
- The rising demand for portion cups is driven by the growing food delivery industry, increased consumer preference for on-the-go eating, and expanding fast-food and casual dining sectors worldwide.
- Asia-Pacific dominates the portion cups market with the largest revenue share in 2024, supported by rapid urbanization, increasing disposable incomes, and the expansion of quick-service restaurants and food delivery services across countries like China and India.
- The region is also experiencing accelerated adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly portion cup materials, encouraged by government regulations and growing environmental awareness among consumers.
- The plastic segment leads the market, accounting for the largest share in 2024, due to its low cost, versatility, and strong presence in both retail and foodservice sectors. However, alternatives such as paper and sugarcane-based cups are gaining traction amid increasing environmental concerns.
