China has rapidly become the world’s leading producer of matcha, a finely ground green tea powder. In 2025, the nation’s output reached over 12,000 tonnes, representing approximately 70% of global production. This dramatic increase demonstrates a significant shift in the matcha market, traditionally dominated by Japan. The Chinese matcha industry has experienced substantial growth, averaging 28.67% annually over the last five years. This expansion is driven by increased investment and production capacity within China. The data indicates a considerable reshaping of the global supply chain for this popular tea product. This trend is expected to continue influencing the matcha market in the coming years.
