As of 2023, the import of tea to India was valued at 28.4 million US dollars. The forecast from 2024 through 2028 shows a gradually declining trend in tea imports, with figures dropping from 27.639 million USD in 2024 to 25.089 million USD by 2028. The year-on-year percentage variations show a consistent decrease, reflecting a potential shift in market dynamics or domestic production influences. Over this five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual decline, underscoring this contracting trend in tea imports.

Future trends to watch for:

Possible increases in domestic production efficiency that may reduce dependency on imports.
Changes in international trade policies or tariffs that could impact import costs.
Variations in consumer preferences influencing demand for specific tea varieties.
