The Rise of Matcha in Non-Native Regions: A Global Food and Beverage Trend

The exotic preparation styles and aromatic appeal of matcha have played a crucial role in its adoption in non-native regions and countries' food and beverage industries. The unique production process, which involves shading the tea leaves before harvesting and grinding them into a fine powder, creates a distinct flavor and vibrant green color. The rise of food tourism has further fueled Matcha's popularity, as travelers are exposed to matcha-based drinks and desserts in various Asian countries. This exposure has contributed to matcha becoming a recognized and sought-after form of tea worldwide, driving its growth in non-native markets.

According to Data Bridge Market Research, the Global Matcha Market was valued at USD 3.14 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach the value of USD 5.81 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.

“Increasing global prevalence of chronic diseases facilitate market growth”

The increasing global prevalence of chronic diseases significantly drives the matcha market. Matcha is rich in antioxidants and has been associated with various health benefits, including reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. As consumers become more health-conscious and seek natural and functional foods, the demand for matcha as a healthy beverage option is rising. The perception of matcha as a superfood with potential health-promoting properties drives its popularity and contributes to the growth of the matcha market.

What restraints the growth of the global matcha market?

“The special manufacturing process of matcha”

The special manufacturing process of matcha, which involves shading the tea leaves before harvest and grinding them into a fine powder, poses certain restraints on the matcha market. This process requires meticulous care and precision, resulting in a limited production capacity compared to other types of tea. Additionally, matcha production's complex and labor-intensive nature leads to higher production costs, making it a relatively more expensive tea option. These factors, combined with matcha's unique taste and preparation requirements, may limit its widespread adoption and accessibility in the market.
