Salty Milk Tea Market Dynamics Driving 7.1% CAGR, Projected USD 4,500 Million by 2035

The Salty Milk Tea Market was valued at 2,113.7 million in 2024 and is projected to rise from 2,263.7 million in 2025 to about 4,500 million by 2035. The market is expected to register a healthy growth rate of approximately 7.1% throughout the forecast period from 2025 to 2035.

What’s Driving Demand

Several key factors are fuelling demand:

• Taste novelty: The combination of sweet, creamy, and salty has become highly appealing, especially among younger generations seeking new flavour experiences. The “salty” profile gives a twist to conventional milk tea varieties.
• Health and wellness concerns: While teas generally are seen as healthier than many sugary soft drinks, many consumers are looking for reduced sugar, natural ingredients, and “better for you” alternatives. Salty milk tea benefits from being perceived as somewhat more balanced in flavor vs purely sweet drinks.
• Accessibility and convenience: More cafés, specialty stores, supermarkets/hypermarkets, online retailers, and food delivery platforms now offer salty milk tea. This proliferation makes it easier for customers to try and adopt these beverages.

• Increasing competition as many brands try to differentiate themselves.
