Besides, the growing urbanized population and middle class of several developing economies are impacting the consumption of tea in its various forms.

Market Scope:

Tea production, as well as consumption, have always held a strong correlation. In other words, tea production is directly proportional to tea consumption. FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations) states that the production of tea did witness a yearly rise of 4.4% from 2007 to 2016. Tea consumption also witnessed a rise along the same lines. The same trend is expected to continue in the next 5-7 years as well.

Market Trends:

The ever-increasing usage of tea is likely to bring premium products to the market. For instance – in economies like the U.S., super-premium and premium products hold the largest market share. Even in Europe consumers are opting for niche and luxurious flavors in form of customized offerings. Nutritionists are focusing on the consumption of tea due to its contents like phytochemicals, flavonoids, and anti-oxidants.

Regional Insights:

Germany comes across as one of the highest importers of tea. Moreover, these imports come from Asian economies like Sri Lanka, India, China, and African economies like Kenya. As of now, black tea rules the roost; but the introduction of iced teas is expected to catalyze the market in the future. On the other hand, green tea is also catching up.
