The Bubble Tea Market
The boba market is rapidly growing and as stated by Market Research Future (MRFR) it has ‘revolutionised the beverage industry business and grows into mainstream’. It has expanded from Taiwan to other Asian countries and eventually reached North America and the UK. The bubble tea market was valued at $2.4 billion in 2019 and is estimated to reach $4.3 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 7.80% from 2020 to 2027. Technavio’s report, Global bubble tea market, stated that 38% of the growth will come from the EMEA region. It is clear that this sub segment of the beverage industry is taking over and making a more prominent place in the industry. With this comes massive opportunities for products to be made around the niche.
The Sustainability Market
The environment is a massive factor to the project idea. Designers are required to think about how their product contributes negatively to the environment and now more than ever, products are being manufactured with the key purpose of being more sustainable.
