Mushroom Market Growth & Trends

The global mushroom market size is expected to reach USD 115.8 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 9.7% over the forecast period. Increasing adoption of vegan diets across the developed economies on account of growing consumer concerns towards animal welfare and the environment is likely to have a positive impact on industry growth. Rising consumer preferences for natural ingredient-based food and cosmetic products around the globe owing to growing awareness regarding the side effects of their synthetic counterparts are expected to drive demand for mushrooms.

Furthermore, mushrooms are rich sources of vitamins, antioxidants, essential oils, proteins, and other bioactive compounds leading to their increasing demand from pharmaceutical applications. Mushroom manufacturers have started focusing adoption of sustainable production processes to attract an environment-conscious customer base and improve brand position. For instance, Bonduelle Group, a France-based mushroom producer, focuses on Agroecology, wherein the company uses natural fertilizers and use renewable energy sources to produce mushrooms. In addition, the company has also started using cardboard boxes by replacing plastic packaging for its canned products starting November 2020.

The manufacturers are using mergers and acquisitions and partnership agreement strategies to expand the production capacity and increase their geographical presence. For instance, in April 2019, Greenyard signed an agreement with Carrefour Belgium, a retail group, for the supply of the former’s assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables. The agreement was intended to strengthen the commercial relationship of both companies and to expand the clientele base for Greenyard.
