How is the Demand for Bubble Tea Pushing the Tapioca Pearls Market Growth

The surging consumption of coffee and tea as nootropic beverages among the working-class population and students is a major factor that is likely to push the tapioca pearls market growth in the evaluation period.

Researchers have found that moderate consumption of low calorie and zero fat hot beverages, such as bubble tea, can enhance brain function and boost concentration. This factor is also projected to propel the growth in this market.

Moreover, the availability of multiple flavors, such as simple classics, coffee, chocolate, and fruits in the bubble tea sector is anticipated to bode well for the market. Rising inclination of consumers towards hot beverages from carbonated drinks owing to their numerous health benefits is also set to fuel growth.

Which Downsides of Bubble Tea May Hinder the Tapioca Pearls Market Growth

Although bubble tea is usually made with green or black tea, it can also contain high quantities of sugar. Depending on the flavor, a 16-ounce serving of bubble tea can contain nearly 36 to 65 grams of sugar.

Thus, drinking bubble tea on a daily basis can increase an individual’s risk of heart diseases, obesity, and diabetes.

In addition, the lack of fiber and high dairy content in this type of tea can result in constipation and abdominal pain. Spurred by the aforementioned factors, the demand for tapioca pearls may decline in the near future.
