Germany, Morocco, Japan, and France rounded out the top ten, each with varying import values. Year-on-year variations show Russia and Pakistan experiencing growth, suggesting increasing demand. The CAGR over the last five years indicates a stable trend for major importers, particularly Russia and the UAE.
Future trends to watch include fluctuating geopolitical climates impacting Russia's import dynamics, increased demand in the fast-growing markets of Pakistan and the UAE, and potential shifts in consumer preferences towards specialty teas influencing volumes and import values worldwide.
