The global mate and tea market demonstrated notable variability across countries in 2023. China led the market with a significant volume of 1.73 million metric tons, while India followed at 1.11 million metric tons. Smaller markets such as Brazil and Argentina showed relatively lower consumption, with volumes of 0.414 million and 0.28 million metric tons, respectively. Varied year-on-year changes were observed, with significant increases in countries like Myanmar (5.28%) and Greece (3.5%), whereas others like Russia (-1.11%) and Japan (-1.51%) experienced declines.
Future trends are expected to show continued growth in emerging markets like Pakistan, Kenya, and Vietnam due to increasing consumer awareness and health benefits associated with tea consumption. Conversely, mature markets such as the United States and Russia may face stagnation or declines. The market will likely see innovation in product offerings and branding to capture the interest of younger demographics and health-conscious consumers. Watch for fluctuations driven by economic conditions, climate change affecting tea cultivation, and shifts in consumer preferences towards premium and functional teas.
