The import of black tea in packages less than 3 kg into the US shows a consistent upward trend from 2024 to 2028, increasing from 16.862 million kilograms to 18.101 million kilograms. This steady growth reflects a continuation of the demand observed up to 2023. The year-on-year percentage variation exhibits a gradual increase, with each subsequent year showing a higher forecasted import volume.
Future trends to watch for include the influence of changing consumer preferences towards premium and flavored tea varieties, potential alterations in trade agreements, and the impact of economic conditions on import volumes. Additionally, health-driven consumption patterns and sustainability considerations may shape future import dynamics.
