One of the key factors driving the market growth is the health benefits of functional tea. The health benefits include improved immunity, hence protection against colds, and better digestion. Some other functional tea products and their health benefits are Yerba mate, Hibiscus tea, Lemongrass tea, and Chamomile tea. Yerba mate is rich in antioxidants and nutrients, boosts energy and immunity, improves mental focus and physical performance, helps to lose body fat and weight, and lowers blood sugar levels and the risk of heart diseases.
Moreover, hibiscus tea is rich in vitamin C and contains flavonoids, reduces blood sugar levels, lowers blood pressure, aids in digestion, helps in reducing menstrual cramps, and keeps the liver healthy. Therefore, growing awareness among consumers regarding the health benefits of functional tea is likely to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Premiumization of functional tea products is one of the key trends of the market. Premium functional tea products are marked with quality assurance stamps from the USDA and others, which regularize the product quality. Several vendors in the global functional tea market offer functional tea products under the premium category. For instance, Numi offers a product line of Premium Matcha green tea in two flavors called Citrus Matcha and Ceremonial Matcha.
Also, It offers Petite Bouquet, which is a tea box with four different flowering tea products. Flowering tea buds offered in this box include Dragon Lily, Sunset Oolong, Lavender Dream, and Golden Jasmine. Therefore, the premiumization of functional tea products is expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
One of the key challenges to the market growth is the availability of counterfeit functional tea products. These types of products lead to an uneven competitive scenario among genuine functional tea vendors. The counterfeit functional tea products lack quality and are priced lower than genuine products. Several instances of manufacturing and sales of counterfeit tea products, including functional tea products, have been seen in the global market.
For instance, a drug processing laboratory was raided by the Malaysian police in the Seberang Prai Selatan district of Malaysia. Drugs and more than 1000 fake herbal tea boxes were seized by the police from the facility. Consumers are often misled by similar product names and packaging as that of products of established brands, especially in APAC countries, such as China, India, and Thailand, and in Middle Eastern countries, such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. This may hinder the sales of genuine functional tea products during the forecast period.
