Surge in Demand for Organic Green Tea
The Indian market for green tea is witnessing a significant boost in demand for organic versions. As people become more health-conscious, they are turning towards natural and chemical-free alternatives, driving the demand for organic green tea. Organic green tea is grown without artificial pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms, providing a clean and natural experience. This demand is also supported by increasing consciousness of the ecofriendly impact of organic agriculture, aligning with the sustainability trend around the world. For instance, in March 2024, Pansari Group introduced TVOY Green Tea at AAHAR 2024 in the flavors of Classic, Chamomile, and Kahwa. Derived from Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, TVOY has biodegradable packaging and advocates for health and sustainability. Moreover, the demand is fueled by Indian customers, especially millennials in cities, who are seeking the assurance and purity provided by organic produce. Government schemes of organic cultivation and certification have further strengthened the consumers' trust. The organic green tea phenomenon is not merely a reaction to health cycles but also a reflection of consumer lifestyle choice impacting the launch of new organic flavors, blends, and creative packaging in India.
Functional Green Tea Blends Gaining Popularity
Functional green tea blends are gaining traction in India, providing consumers with additional health benefits over regular tea. This includes mixing green tea with functional ingredients like turmeric, ashwagandha, tulsi (holy basil), ginger, and lemongrass. These have immunity-boosting, stress-reducing, and digestive health properties and address consumers' overall well-being needs. The trend is also in line with India's age-old practice of Ayurvedic and herbal health, blending wisdom of the past with convenience of the present. Functional green teas come packaged as solvents of a particular health issue, like detoxification, weight loss, and mental balance. Convenience is also a factor here, with companies providing the ready-to-drink (RTD) format and convenient tea bags and sachets. This product innovation of green tea is capitalizing on increasing demand for health-oriented, functional drinks among career professionals and health-oriented millennials.
Green Tea’s Expansion into Beauty and Personal Care
Green tea is picking up steam as a primary ingredient in the Indian beauty and personal care sector. Its high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory content makes it suitable for skincare and haircare products. The trend is fueled by growing consumer demand for natural and clean beauty products, with green tea extracts used in face masks, creams, serums, shampoos, and conditioners. The beauty world is capitalizing on green tea's virtues of calming the skin, clearing acne, regulating sebum, and fostering healthy hair growth. It is a phenomenon of a general movement towards functional beauty products with cosmetic and curative advantages. For example, in October 2023, INNISFREE India introduced the INNSIFREE Vitamin C Green Tea Enzyme Brightening Serum, blending nature-driven skincare with a new brand identity, celebrating the brand's dedication to clean nature and healthy beauty. Moreover, beauty products containing green tea align with the global culture shift toward ecologically friendly and plant-based beauty products that will attract eco-savvy customers. As the health and beauty industries overlap, the adaptability of green tea is setting it up to be an effective ingredient in the self-care space.
