According to Cushman & Wakefield, the country accounted for over 12% of the total spending on eating out in the region. High disposable income and consumer inclination toward fast food eateries due to busy work schedule can be attributed to its substantial spending on eating out.


Rising number of eateries in the country and online delivery option offered by most of the eateries further boost the demand for molded pulp packaging in the country. Traditionally, Japan is a major adopter for new technologies and processes that involve a reduction in energy consumption, cost, and efficiency.
