Increasing Innovation in the Beverages Industry
Major beverage producers are incorporating tea extract powders into their products to differentiate themselves from sugary soft drinks and provide their beverages with a naturally healthy flavour.
Growing Demand for Anti-Ageing Cosmetics
Green tea extracts are rich in polyphenols, which prevent premature signs of aging by keeping skin hydrated. They also provide sun protection and improve skin texture. The rapid geriatric population in countries such as Japan and the USA is expected to raise the demand for tea extract powders among cosmetics manufacturers, thereby leading to the market growth.
Tea Extract Powder Market Trends
In 2021, China produced 3.06 MMT of tea, recording a year-on-year growth of 3%. Different teas are produced from the varying processing of tea leaves post-harvest, including minimal oxidation for green tea as compared to black and oolong tea. Green tea accounts for 60.4% of overall total tea production in China at 1.85 million tons. In 2020, black tea production surged by nearly 7.4%, higher than dark tea (6.3%), and green tea (0.36%) due to its increasing domestic demand. This is expected to fuel the tea extract powder market development worldwide.
The rising incidence of health problems (44%) and food allergies (30%) among global consumers is a major driver of global sales of functional food products. In 2020, American households spent nearly $34.2 billion on fortified packaged foods due to the rising perception of nutritious food as the best medicine.
