Outside India, its strongest markets are the South Asian grocery, sweet shop and catering businesses across the UK, USA, Canada and Australia, alongside general use as a QSR portion cup.
An Indian sweet shop packing mithai for a customer needs a container that matches how the product has always been served, not a generic plastic tub that looks out of place next to the sweets themselves.
The dona is the traditional format for exactly this purpose, and South Asian sweet retail is a sizeable, established business across the UK, USA, Canada and Australia. This fits sweet shops serving diaspora communities where the packaging itself is part of the product's authenticity.
Chaat and other South Asian street food formats are increasingly common at food halls and markets in UK, US, Canadian and Australian cities with large diaspora populations, often served by vendors new to running a stall.
A dona gives those vendors a serving format that matches the food without needing to explain it to customers who already recognise it. This fits growing street food markets rather than a single fixed restaurant location.
Diwali and other South Asian festivals are now widely marked by retailers and community organisers well beyond India itself, in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia, creating a real seasonal spike in demand.
A dona supports that seasonal retail push with an authentic format for sweets and snacks. This suits retailers and community organisers stocking up ahead of a specific festival date rather than selling the same volume year-round.
British-Indian, Indian-American and Indian-Canadian function catering often serves small savoury and sweet accompaniments alongside the main meal, items that need their own small container rather than crowding the main plate.
A dona handles those side items cleanly, keeping them separate from the main course. This fits caterers working South Asian weddings and functions where the accompaniments are as much a tradition as the main dishes.
Indian and South Asian grocery stores abroad, a well-established retail category across the UK, USA, Canada and Australia, often run a prepared-food deli counter selling pickles, chutneys and small snacks by the portion.
A dona gives that deli counter a familiar, recognisable format for portioning out those items. This fits grocery stores where the deli counter is a meaningful part of the business, not just an add-on next to the shelves.
Beyond its South Asian use, this size closely matches the standard portion cup used across US, UK and EU QSR chains for ketchup, salsa, aioli and other sauces served on the side.
The same size and rigidity that suits a dab of chutney also suits a dollop of any other condiment. This gives the product a second, broader market among QSR chains that never think of it as a dona at all.

The proof is in the reorders, here’s what procurement teams say about working with us.
We source almost all our cup packaging from Vanta Exim: single wall cups, ripple cups, custom-printed double wall cups, bagasse lids and branded cup holders. Our logo prints sharp and the colours match from one order to the next, and the bagasse lids fit our cups properly, which hasn’t always been true with other suppliers. Having one partner for the whole range has made reordering much simpler for our stores.”
We’ve placed repeat orders with Vanta Exim for mixed containers of bagasse tableware, paper bowls and paper trays. Being able to combine different products in one container keeps our inventory lean, and every shipment has arrived well packed and matching what we approved. Re-ordering is easy because they already know our specs.”
We import wholesale from India and supply local vendors across the UK, as well as selling on Amazon, so consistency matters to us. Vanta Exim’s paper and bagasse products arrive exactly as specified, with packing and cartons that hold up to UK retail and Amazon requirements. Their export documentation is always in order, which keeps clearance quick and our stock moving.”
