Kombucha Tea Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunities and Forecast, 2018-2028

The global kombucha tea market is expected to grow at an exponential growth rate during the forecast period.

The kombucha tea market is being driven by an increase in the number of health-conscious consumers, a surge in product innovation, and the expansion of the foodservice industry globally. On the other hand, the existence of fake goods and the potential threat of substitutes limit market expansion. The growing popularity of organic products and the rapid expansion of online retail platforms offer market participants lucrative opportunities.

Kombucha is a fermented, sweetened tea that is frequently brewed from black or green tea. In order to make kombucha, a SCOBY (a pancake-shaped symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) is added to a sweetened tea mixture, supposed to be able to ferment at room temperature for one to three weeks, and then bottled for one to two weeks to capture CO2 that has been released and promote carbonation. The fermentation and carbonation processes are then slowed down by placing the bottled kombucha in a refrigerator.

The market is also increasing due to increasing consumption of tea across the globe. Tea is known to have beneficial components that lower inflammation. There are a number of health advantages to drinking green tea, according to earlier research from China and Japan. Black tea, according to scientists, may offer comparable advantages.

The study was conducted by researchers from the National Cancer Institute of the United States. They looked at data gathered over a period of up to 14 years about the tea consumption habits of nearly 500,000 adults in Britain. In Britain, black tea is the more popular variety.
