According to a new report by Polaris Market Research, the global matcha market was valued at USD 4.61 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 9.03 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 7.8% over the forecast period. Growth is underpinned by rising demand for natural, clean-label ingredients, growing health and wellness consciousness, and expanding modern retail and e-commerce distribution across key consumer markets.

Matcha market growth is being driven by a noticeable shift in consumer preferences toward wellness-focused and naturally sourced beverages. Matcha has moved beyond traditional tea culture and is now widely seen in lattes, desserts, ready-to-drink beverages, and café menus. The popularity of matcha-based beverages among younger consumers and health-conscious shoppers is giving brands plenty of room to experiment with new products and flavors.

What Is Driving Matcha Market Growth?

Demand is climbing as consumer preference for authentic, minimally processed ingredients converges with rising interest in functional superfoods. Food and beverage manufacturers are prioritizing matcha as a natural, single-ingredient additive, pushing adoption across lattes, desserts, and nutritional supplements. Polaris analysts note that premiumization trends position ceremonial and classic-grade matcha for sustained growth through 2034, with the classic grade segment remaining the largest revenue contributor and the food application segment posting the fastest incremental gains.
