ANALISYS AND PERSPECTIVES
OF TEA MARKET
World tea market in 2013
• High quality tea is grown only in 4 countries: Sri
Lanka, India, Kenya and China. These countries
form the price of tea in world markets.
• On the one hand, unfavorable weather
conditions, political and economic instability in
importing countries could provoke a tea market
deficit, and hence increase of tea cost.
• On the other hand, the reduction of supply from one
country is compensated by increased imports from
other countries (Kenya, Sri Lanka) and allows new
players to enter the world market with relative tea
prices stability.
Ukrainian tea market in 2013
• 2013 is characterized by positive
dynamics of production and exports of
tea.
• However, the volume of Ukrainian tea
market in the past few years have changed
quite a bit, which indicates the saturation
of the market.
• Besides, the world's major brands are
already represented in the Ukrainian
market of tea.
Ukrainian tea market in 2013
• The crisis has touched on the preferences of
Ukrainians towards cheaper and convenient tea
bags, share of which tends to a constant increase
(especially in 2011).
• As for the type of tea, the dominance of black tea
over green tea remains.
Ukrainian tea market in 2013
• Product lines of the five main players in the tea
market in Ukraine immediately react to that.
Namely, in this segment there are more new
products, including the premium segment.
• These include tea Curtis (May Company) and
Grace! (Pyramid Company). Although today the
tea bags are mainly included to economy and
mid-price segment, in the future, this trend may
change.
