Functional tea contains natural ingredients such as herbs, fruits, flowers, spices, and other plant-based elements infused with traditional tea leaves to provide various physiological and therapeutic effects. Functional teas are considered healthier alternatives to carbonated soft drinks and sugar-laden beverages due to their inherent properties derived from natural ingredients. Rising awareness about health and wellness among consumers has driven demand for alternative beverages, including functional tea, that offer added benefits beyond hydration and taste sensation. Additionally, changing lifestyle trends with increasing emphasis on wellness practices, such as yoga and meditation, have fostered the demand for functional tea. Stringent regulatory frameworks governing food safety and the availability of counterfeit products are hampering the market growth. Increasing investments in R&D activities to create unique functional tea blends using exotic botanicals and nutraceutical ingredients that cater to specific health concerns such as stress management, digestive support, and cognitive enhancement is anticipated to expand the potential of the market. Moreover, the adoption of sustainable sourcing practices and eco-friendly packaging materials by market vendors is anticipated to create opportunities for market growth.
