Tea consumption and production have always been strongly correlated and as tea production increases, so too does tea consumption. According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tea production witnessed an annual increase of 4.4% between 2007 and 2016, while tea consumption also rose by 4.4% during the same years. Over the past five years, consumption of tea increased from 30 billion liters in volume to approximately 36 billion liters, which has been a major growth factor in the market's recent surge. This growth trend for the consumption and production of tea is expected to continue over the next five years due to increased awareness about the benefits of tea coupled with rising per capita tea consumption.
