Segments:

Black Tea Segment to Witness Monumental Demand During 2023-2030

As more customers are becoming health-conscious worldwide, the black tea category is expected to rise at a considerable CAGR throughout the forecast period. Due to its potent antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-diabetic qualities, black tea is heavily promoted. One of the key aspects that would support the expansion of this market segment is the increase in consumer preference for natural and organic food and beverage items. The green tea segment is anticipated to account for a sizable portion of the bubble tea market share, closely followed by black tea.

Fruit Flavor to Experience Increasing Popularity in the Coming Years

The market is divided into coffee, fruit, chocolate, original, and other taste categories. The market in 2019 was led by fruit flavor, which is more popular than other flavors. Lychee, mango, passion fruit, peach, plum, strawberry, avocado, banana, grape, kiwi, lemon, and other flavors are among the taste variations that are present in it. Due to its high nutritional content in comparison to other tastes, the high popularity of tea-based fruity beverages, and strong consumer preference, this market is predicted to increase significantly over the course of the forecast period. Due to the rising demand for beverages with chocolate as an ingredient across all age groups, the chocolate segment is predicted to develop at the quickest rate in the future years.

Drivers and Restraints

Expanding Range of Boba Tea Offerings to Augment Market Share

Many factors, such as taste preferences, price, brand, and location accessibility, have an impact on the growing customer preferences for products in this century. Owing to these and other considerations, tea producers need to produce premium teas while taking consumer preferences into account. The taste, ease of availability, and continuous innovation of the classic tea recipe are the main factors contributing to the growing appeal of bubble milk tea.

Bubble milk tea has a significant market potential because of the diversity of boba teas available, including as fruit-flavored, green jasmine, and black tea-based milk teas. For example, in April 2022, three varieties of tapioca starch and konjac-based boba tea were released by Bubluv Inc., a startup company based in the United States. The bubble tea market is growing thanks to these causes.
