Surging Demand for Eco-friendly and Sustainable Alternatives Augment Market Growth Globally
The Mycelium Growing demand for biodegradable and sustainable products in both established and emerging nations is driving market expansion. It is anticipated that global consumption will more than double from approximately 3.5 million tons in 2025 to over 6.7 million tons by 2033. Global market growth is being driven by the acceleration of adoption in packaging, textiles, food components, and leather substitutes, as well as the expansion of online retail and specialty distribution channels that are improving accessibility.
However, almost 20% of operating difficulties in the mycelium market are caused by high production costs and a lack of large-scale manufacturing infrastructure. It's still challenging to increase production of textiles, leather substitutes, and packaging, particularly in areas without sophisticated biomanufacturing facilities.
