Kombucha Tea Market to Grow with a CAGR of 10.3% through 2030

The kombucha tea market is expanding rapidly, driven by rising demand for functional beverages, lifestyle alignment with wellness trends, innovative flavors, sustainable practices, and growing consumer preference for natural, plant-based, and artisanal products.

According to TechSci Research report, “Kombucha Tea Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the global kombucha tea market was valued at USD 2.76 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 4.97 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 10.3% during the forecast period. The global kombucha tea market is evolving rapidly as shifting consumer preferences, technological advancements, and evolving industry practices reshape its growth trajectory. Beyond the widely cited health consciousness and product innovation, a key driver of the market is the growing alignment of kombucha with lifestyle and cultural movements that extend beyond traditional beverage consumption. Increasing adoption of plant-based diets, the rise of flexitarian lifestyles, and the preference for beverages that reflect personal values such as sustainability, authenticity, and ethical sourcing are providing fertile ground for kombucha to flourish as both a wellness product and a lifestyle choice. Additionally, the beverage’s ability to tap into the “experiential consumption” trend—where consumers seek not just functionality but also stories of craftsmanship, origin, and artisanal quality—has boosted its aspirational appeal, particularly among millennials and Gen Z. At the same time, the role of digitalization has been instrumental in creating communities around kombucha, with consumers engaging in home-brewing, recipe sharing, and online discussions, which enhances the category’s cultural depth and fosters loyalty.

However, the market also faces challenges that temper its otherwise strong momentum. One major issue is the lack of standardization across production processes, which can lead to inconsistency in taste, carbonation levels, or nutritional profile, ultimately affecting consumer trust and repeat purchases. This variability is compounded by the relatively low entry barriers that have allowed a proliferation of small producers, many of whom may lack the quality control systems necessary for scale. Another challenge lies in navigating consumer expectations around functionality; while kombucha is often marketed as a probiotic-rich health beverage, skepticism around the scientific validation of these claims poses a reputational risk for brands. Additionally, the balance between maintaining artisanal authenticity and scaling operations efficiently remains difficult, as larger production volumes often struggle to retain the handcrafted quality that initially attracted consumers. Together, these drivers and challenges illustrate a market that is dynamic and opportunity-rich but also highly complex, requiring careful brand positioning and operational discipline for sustainable growth.
