The upward curve continues through the next decade, shaped by rising adoption of functional beverages and the growing acceptance of Western-style tea consumption patterns in Japan.

Steady Growth Backed by Functional Wellness and Convenience Trends

Black tea extract consumption is accelerating as consumers increasingly seek natural antioxidants, metabolism-supporting ingredients, and wellness-oriented formulations. Extracts such as theaflavins and catechins are recognized for their digestive, immune, and cardiovascular benefits, strengthening their use in beverages, supplements, and skincare.

Manufacturers are moving away from traditional loose-leaf formats and toward concentrated extracts, which offer superior consistency, longer shelf life, and scalability for large-batch processing. Ready-to-drink (RTD) teas-one of Japan's fastest-growing beverage segments-rely heavily on powdered or liquid black tea extracts for formulation.
