Tea, especially green tea, which originated in China, is often considered to be good for health. Tea contains substances that can lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. According to the FAO Intergovernmental Group (IGG), the consumption of tea has become a part of a healthy diet as the beverage possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and aids in weight loss. The increasing awareness and benefits of tea over carbonated beverages have also become one of the significant factors influencing consumers to choose tea over fizzy drinks and preserved beverages.
The market segmentation, based on Tea Bag Type, includes Single Chamber, Double Chamber. The Single Chamber segment holds the majority share in 2022, contributing to the Tea Bag Packaging revenue. Single chamber tea bags are easier to manufacture and filling tea contents in the bag helps them save on the cost of manufacturing tea bags. Single-chamber tea bags can be produced in naked, crimped, and hot-sealed outer packaging envelopes. Single-chamber tea bags contain less tea as compared to double-chamber packaging for similar tea bag dimensions.
Based on Outer Paper Envelope, the market segmentation includes Naked Bags, Crimped, and Heat-Sealed. The Naked Bags segment dominated the market in 2022. Most of the common green tea and black tea are packed in naked bags to avoid the additional cost to manufacturers and consumers. Naked tea bags are horizontally stacked in a larger cardboard box usually in a pack of 25, 50, or even 100 bags. The greater number of tea bags in a box results in a less overall cost of the tea. Naked tea bags are often available in single-chamber or double-chamber packaging attached to a string.
Based on the Filter Type, the market segmentation includes Paper with PLA Fiber, Paper with Plastic Fiber Paper, Non-Woven Fabric Made of Plastic, and Non-Woven Fabric.

Non-woven fabric tea bags do not release toxic substances while brewing. Manufacturing non-woven fabric is one of the cheapest solutions for manufacturers. The fibers used in the non-woven fabric are arranged in form of a network, and later, are fixed using chemical or heat-sealed.
Based on Application, the market segmentation includes Green Tea and Black Tea. The Green tea segment is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2023-2030. Most of the green tea offered in the market is packaged in double-chamber tea bags. There are various flavors of green tea offered in the market, including lemon and honey, vanilla, and aloe vera. Green tea usually comes with highly attractive packaging, which also serves as a medium for spreading awareness about green tea owing to its medicinal properties. Green tea is mostly available in crimped and heat-sealed packaging, which helps preserve the aroma and freshness of the tea.
