upsizing
Increasing the scale
Upsizing is increasing the size of something—the opposite of downsizing.
In business, it means expanding workforce or operations: The company is upsizing after years of cuts.
In food service, it means ordering a larger portion: Would you like to upsize your fries?
The word also applies to moving to a larger home or vehicle.
