In 2023, the import value of green tea in packages of more than 3 kg to Canada was estimated at approximately $14.5 million. The forecasted values indicate a consistent upward trend, with a steady increase observed every year from 2024 to 2028. Specifically, imports are projected to grow from $14.943 million in 2024 to $16.745 million by 2028. The year-on-year growth percentage suggests a stable annual increase, contributing to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years that underscores a positive trajectory for the industry.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards organic or specialty green teas, impacting import sources.
- Economic factors and trade policy changes influencing import prices and supply chain dynamics.
- Innovation within the tea sector, such as ready-to-drink options, possibly affecting bulk imports.
