Global mushroom market is projected to attain a value of USD 100.04 Billion by 2028 from USD 51.53 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period (2022–2028)


Westford, USA, Nov. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In the past four years, mushroom market sales have increased by 69%. Mushrooms are an alluring and umami-rich food, but the industry is plagued with many challenges. Traditional cultivation and production methods are environmentally unfriendly, labor-intensive, and require significant inputs. Some companies are turning to post-harvest processing to reduce spoilage and waste, but this is also a challenging field due to the need for precise temperature control and hygienic practices.

Currently, there is significant growth potential for the mushroom market, as people seek healthier options and increased awareness of the environmental benefits of using sustainable resources. SkyQuest forecasts global sales of mushrooms will reach US$100 billion by 2028. This growth is due to increasing demand from Asia, particularly China, as well as healthy eating trends in developed countries like the United States and Europe.

The largest segment of the global mushroom market is grown mushrooms which is estimated to account for over 50% of revenue. Rounded off with Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) at 30%, portobello mushrooms (C Portobello Fungi) at 17%, and enoki mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes) accounting for 7% of revenue respectively.

The main drivers behind the growth of the global mushroom market are increasing demand from emerging countries such as China and India where traditional meat options are becoming scarce due to population growth, and growing awareness about health benefits associated with consuming mushrooms. Factors such as rising prices of feedstock commodities, advances in agro-technological systems allowing for more efficient production, and increasing awareness about environmental friendliness are also contributing to growth in this market. However, cost controls related to climate change and tighter regulations affecting cultivation settings will restrain the overall growth prospects in this market.

There are several factors that are expected to support global mushroom market growth:

  • Increasing consumer interest and awareness around the health benefits of mushrooms;
  • Stringent regulations on ingredients used in processed foods and air quality;
  • Upscale restaurants opting for more sustainable seafood options, such as mushrooms; and
  • Deeper market penetration due to better distribution channels (such as ecommerce) and increased product localization.

Apart from this, there is an increase in demand for mushrooms due to growing interest in dietary supplements, Medicinals, food additives, and other industrial uses. Second, the cost of production has been coming down as technology improves and new cultivation methods are developed. Lastly, rising populations and increasing incomes across Asia Pacific and Latin America will result in more consumers looking to purchase mushrooms as a healthy source of nutrition.

Of course, not all companies operating in the mushroom market will be successful. New entrants who lack scale or experience may find it difficult to compete against larger companies with deeper pockets. In addition, the regulatory environment pertaining to fungi remains complex and uncertain throughout much of Asia Pacific and Latin America; challenges that must be faced if businesses are to reach profitability quickly.
