The global matcha market size was estimated at USD 5.07 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 8.86 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2026 to 2033. Growing health consciousness, coupled with consumer awareness of the product's health benefits, is expected to drive the market over the forecast period.
Matcha is an unprocessed green tea rich in antioxidants, especially catechins, which are associated with better metabolism, a lower risk of chronic diseases, and improved cognitive function. The expansion of matcha in food, bakery, and dessert applications is significantly driving market growth. Food manufacturers and cafés are increasingly incorporating matcha into products such as cakes, cookies, pastries, chocolates, and ice cream due to its distinctive flavor, natural green color, and perceived health benefits. Its versatility enables brands to create innovative, premium offerings that appeal to health-conscious, trend-driven consumers. As a result, the growing use of matcha as a functional and aesthetic ingredient in the food and dessert industry continues to drive global demand.
Exports of matcha from Japan have grown significantly in recent years, reflecting rising global demand. In 2024, Japan exported 5,092 tons of matcha, an 18.7% increase from the previous year, while total export value reached approximately USD 185 million, a 25.9% year-on-year increase. The U.S., Germany, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan were the leading export destinations, collectively accounting for about 65.7% of Japan’s total matcha exports, underscoring strong international demand for matcha across major markets.
The product has a high content of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) count of the product is estimated to be 1,384 units per gram, which is higher than the average ORAC count of 94 units per gram of other nutritious fruits and vegetables, such as pomegranates, goji berry, walnuts, broccoli, spinach, and blueberries.
The anti-oxidant composition of the product enables it to prevent various chronic diseases and provide protection from the harmful effects of UV radiation. The antioxidants present in the product, known as EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), can prevent various types of cancer including brain, bladder, prostate, and cervix. It prevents the proliferation of malignant cells and thus regulates angiogenesis and metastasis.

The amino acid ‘L-theanine’ present in the product has the potential to reduce stress and promote a state of relaxation; enhance mental alertness and mental calmness; and prevent chronic diseases, including type-2 diabetes and gastrointestinal problems.
The superior health benefits of the product have accelerated its acceptance among consumers across the globe. The worldwide incidence of lifestyle diseases has motivated consumers to increase the intake of healthy and nutrient-rich food and beverages in their diet.
