At the same time, the trend went away from buying huge packs of stuff that need to be put in a container to not go stale, towards buying smaller-sized packages, for a multitude of reasons.

That said, the German low cost supermarkets sell much cheaper food containers and if you want higher end, brands like Sistema always seem to be better value than Tupperware.
Tupperware has not innovated, patents have expired. Same injection mold plastics that eventually gets color stains from the food.
Cheap knockoffs everywhere.
Higher quality plastic containers available.
Tupperware brand is associated with grandmothers and valued only by them. Younger people don't buy them.
People who are ready to pay more use metallic containers or borosilicate glass containers with plastic lid. Buy one with good silicone-rubber seal lid and they last forever.
There is nothing going on with Tupperware.
Imagine my surprise when it turned out I'd need to go to a Tupperware party to do so.
They have the glass containers and even plastic if you want something more light.
They are safely impilable (the lid is a little shallow)
The best thing about them is the fact that you can buy the lids and containers separately (the hinges of the lids tend to break after sometime)
Where I'm from Tupperware is associated more with multilevel marketing. While plastic containers are common Tupperware branded are not.
Tupperware was only available on those "Tupperpartys" but I don't want to sit through a whole evening when I only want to buy some containers.
I think they have shifted to selling online, too, but they really missed the train and now it's too late.
Qualitywise Tupperware is really great I think. I'm still using containers my mother bought at least 20 years ago.
