The global tea market size USD 59.59 Billion in 2025. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.20% during the forecast period of 2026-2035. By 2035, the market is expected to reach USD 108.75 Billion.
The convenience of ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages and cold brews is driving the growth of the tea market to meet modern consumer demands for quick, portable, and refreshing options. RTD teas are pre-brewed and bottled, making them ideal for busy lifestyles. Cold brews offer a smoother and less bitter flavour profile and are increasingly available in health-conscious formats. Popular among Millennials and Gen Z, these beverages are gaining traction in supermarkets, convenience stores, and vending machines. For instance, in March 2025, 7 Eleven launched Southland Reserve™, a collaborative cold brew tea line with AriZona in four flavours in the United States.
Digital commerce and subscription services are transforming the tea demand growth by offering consumers convenient, personalized access to a wide variety of teas. Through online platforms, brands can directly reach global customers, bypassing traditional retail limits and allowing for tailored experiences. Subscription models build customer loyalty by providing regular shipments of new or favourite blends, encouraging trial and repeat purchases. In July 2024, Fortnum & Mason launched its new tea subscription to deliver monthly loose-leaf blends with personalized mugs and accessories, enhancing luxury and convenience. These strategies increase market reach, improve customer retention, and drive sustained market growth.
