The global tea market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.34%, from US$79.765 billion in 2025 to US$108.457 billion by 2030.
Tea has emerged as one of the most popular non-alcoholic beverages globally, and it is anticipated to experience significant growth in the coming years, particularly due to the rising tea culture in regions like China and India, where it is believed to have originated over 2000 years ago. In China, tea remains a vital part of society, and currently, there are over 1,000 varieties of tea cultivated in more than 25 countries worldwide. The shift in consumer behavior towards ready-to-consume products, especially iced teas, has contributed to this growth, as these beverages are particularly favored by millennials. Additionally, increasing disposable incomes in developing regions are promoting higher tea consumption, especially in the Asia Pacific, where consistent growth is forecasted. The growing awareness of the health benefits associated with tea consumption is also a significant factor driving market expansion. The diverse range of tea products available - including herbal, green, black, and white teas - appeals to tea enthusiasts and supports market growth. Furthermore, the sustainability movement is gaining traction within the tea industry, enhancing its global market presence. The demand for tea extracts in cosmetics and nutraceuticals is also on the rise. Geographically, the Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the global tea market due to its strong cultural ties to tea consumption from a young age. However, the rapid global rise of coffee consumption may pose challenges to market growth during this period.
