DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Tea Market, Size, Forecast 2023-2028, Industry Trends, Growth, Share, Outlook, Impact of Inflation, Opportunity Company Analysis" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Global Tea Market is projected to reach a value of US$ 70.45 Billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% from 2022 to 2028.

Tea holds a special place in the hearts of people worldwide, cherished for its affordability and delightful flavor. It plays a significant role in the global beverage industry and is grown in specific regions due to temperature and soil characteristics. Major tea producers include China, India, Sri Lanka in Asia, and Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda in Africa. Other regions like South America, the Middle East, and Russia also contribute to tea production but to a lesser extent. As of 2021, global tea production exceeds 6.5 billion tons.

The vast range of teas available offers substantial growth potential. Organic tea, green tea, fruit tea, chamomile tea, white tea, and other unique blends are gaining popularity among consumers. For example, chamomile tea, brewed from flowers, offers various health benefits, including improved sleep, digestive health, blood sugar management, and heart health. Peppermint tea is another herbal favorite known for its pleasant flavor derived from dried peppermint leaves.

In the pursuit of sustainability, Nestle S.A. has taken a significant step by introducing a zero-waste initiative to convert tea waste into beneficial fertilizer. This move prevents resource wastage, reduces energy emissions, and minimizes overall waste. Tea waste proves to be an excellent fertilizer as it contains essential components like potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus. With exciting new varieties and environmental measures, the tea industry has substantial growth potential, making it a favorite among consumers worldwide.

Key Drivers of Market Growth:

1. Rising demand from Asia and the Pacific regions due to increasing incomes.
2. Increasing popularity among young urban consumers due to health benefits and a variety of flavors and varieties.
3. Anticipated growth in green tea consumption surpassing black tea in the future.

Green Tea Leading the Market:

Among various tea types, green tea is expected to be the most profitable due to increased demand for healthy beverages. Green tea is known for its health benefits, such as aiding in weight reduction, improving digestion, and boosting immunity. Matcha green tea, a well-known variant, is prepared by crushing the dried leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Notable green tea brands in the market include Lipton and Tetley.

Tea Bags and Packaging Trends:

The tea market offers various packaging options, including plastic containers, loose tea, paperboards, aluminum tins, and tea bags. Tea bags have gained popularity among travelers due to their convenience and mess-free use. The tea bag category is growing due to the preference for healthy and organic options, driven by the premiumization trend. However, the loose tea segment, valued for its superior flavor and aroma, presents a challenge to the tea bag business. Manufacturers are adopting technologies such as PLA and paper manufacture, as well as automation, to accelerate production and supply.

Distribution Channels:

The supermarket and hypermarket channels are experiencing significant growth in the worldwide tea market due to their vast product selections. However, the rapid rise of online shopping platforms challenges the dominance of mass merchandisers. Online platforms are becoming increasingly popular among consumers looking for organic tea options and convenient delivery choices.

India's Growing Role:

India is expected to show significant growth in the tea market during the forecast period. The country has a strong tea culture and a committed base of tea enthusiasts. The urban population is becoming more health-conscious, while tea continues to be a stress reliever for the rural population. Economic development and increased disposable income among the Indian middle class are driving tea industry growth and innovation. India also holds a prominent position in the global export market as the second-largest tea producer.

Key Players:

Key players in the global tea market include Unilever, Associated British Foods, Nestle SA, Hain Celestial, McLeod Russel, Asian Tea and Export Ltd., Tata Consumer Product Ltd., and Starbucks.

The global tea market is poised for long-term expansion, driven by increasing demand from Asia and the Pacific regions, the popularity of green tea, and various packaging trends. The availability of a wide range of tea flavors and varieties is expected to contribute to the industry's optimistic future.
