The global Theanine Market continues to show robust expansion, with its valuation reaching USD 59 million in 2022. According to current industry projections, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3%, reaching approximately USD 90 million by 2029. This steady growth trajectory is primarily fueled by increasing consumer awareness of cognitive health benefits and the rising demand for natural supplements in functional food and beverage formulations.
Theanine, a unique amino acid predominantly found in tea leaves, has gained significant traction as a natural nootropic compound. Its GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status by the FDA has facilitated widespread adoption across food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. The market is witnessing heightened innovation in delivery formats, particularly in chewables, gummies, and ready-to-drink formulations that appeal to younger demographics.
