Moreover, there has been rapid development in the food service industry. International fast-food chains have been the most prominent ones. For instance, McDonald’s planned to open around 10,000 stores worldwide by 2027. Similar trends have been noted in various restaurants. Thus these developments shall directly impact the demand for mushrooms in the coming years. The Food service industry being the major end-user segment of mushrooms utilizes them as a key ingredient in many of their dishes. There is an increasing demand for protein-rich food around the globe and mushrooms being a rich source of it are used by food service providers in their healthy snacks. With an estimated approximate usage of 270 million pounds of mushrooms every year by the food service industry, it can be deduced that the growth of the mushroom market has a direct correlation with the growth of the food service industry, being its major end-user sector.
Additionally, automations are emerging for planting, growing, picking, and packing the mushrooms. This will help to address the shortage of labor required for doing such processes and reduce the expenses included in maintaining that staff. This not only reduces the expenses on labor but also improves the efficiency of various operations included in the cultivation of mushrooms. Moreover, a reduction in production cost will also lead to a reduction in sales price thus attracting more consumers. Therefore, automating the processes involved in cultivation can help increase production efficiency and reduce production costs and human power.
Furthermore, the mushroom is also used as an ingredient in the making of cosmetic and beauty products. As consumers are inclined towards products that are made from organic raw materials, they make purchases as per the ingredients of the products. As a result, various cosmetic companies are inclined towards using plant-based raw materials in their products. Mushrooms play a major role in addressing this demand due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which offer clean and glowing skin. For instance, Shikohin, a cosmetic company, has introduced a mushroom-based skin care solution that offers deep hydration, reduces signs of aging, and cures dry skin. This further increases the demand for mushrooms. Therefore, due to several health benefits, mushrooms have been highly consumed and used across various industries, and this trend is expected to continue in the forecast period as well amid the ongoing advancements in their farming processes.
Global Mushroom Market Driver:
Several Nutritional Benefits of Mushrooms Driving Market Growth – There has been increasing awareness among people around the world to maintain a healthy lifestyle with the intake of organic food and cuisines rich in nutrients and taste. Mushrooms are a richer source of various nutrients like; vitamin D, B6, Selenium, etc., due to which they offer several health benefits such as improving the immune system, brain health, metabolism, lowering sodium and cholesterol, stimulating a healthier gut, etc. These benefits incline a very high proportion of the world population to add mushrooms to their regular diets. As a result, the demand and sales of mushrooms increases.
Moreover, some mushrooms such as shiitake, maitake, reishi, etc., are known as medical mushrooms and are suggested as medicines by Chinese practitioners even for critical lung diseases and cancer. As per research by the National Institute of Health, US, 2022, mushrooms have molecular compounds called Polysaccharides which contain antitumor and immunomodulatory properties in them. Thus, this further increases the demand for mushrooms among various patients. Various organizations such as WHO promote campaigns on social media and also urge governments to promote healthy food in public facilities. Therefore, due to several health benefits offered by mushrooms, they have been highly consumed worldwide, and this trend is expected to continue in the forecast period as well.
Global Mushroom Market Challenge:
Lack of Mushroom Pickers to Hinder the Market Growth – Harvesting mushrooms is the major challenge faced by the mushroom market as it is a labor-intensive process and maintaining consistent quality and productivity standards are often difficult to achieve due to the shortage of mushroom pickers. Mushrooms have a fragile nature, especially their caps part which gets bruised up easily upon contact, thus they have to be picked carefully by the underside of the cap to prevent damage. There are around 20% vacancy rates for mushroom pickers in 2024. This increases the demand for automation and robot technologies in the harvesting and packing of mushrooms. As such advancements require high investments, they pose a challenge for the small companies or the newly entering companies because such advancements increase the cost of production which can be higher than the profit generated thus affecting the growth of those companies.
Therefore, the lack of labor for harvesting mushrooms can increase the cost of production, which may result in the loss of the companies and a reduction in production, thus affecting the market dynamics and presenting a challenge to its growth.
Global Mushroom Market Trend:
Sustainable Mushroom Farming Gaining Traction – Mushrooms that are grown in an environment-friendly way have gained popularity in recent years. In such methods, mushrooms are not grown along with the natural surfaces, i.e., substrate, thus maintaining the nutrition of the soil and preserving the ecosystem. For instance, Monaghan Mushrooms introduced peat-free mushrooms, that do not use peat as substrate but a new substrate made up of recyclable natural materials. This helps in maintaining the ecosystem as peat is highly rich in carbon content. This also helps companies to promote sustainability on their packaging thus attracting a wide consumer base as a very high number of people are focused on purchasing sustainable products. Therefore, sustainably produced mushrooms have been popular in recent years, and this trend is expected to remain in the future also due to the rising inclination of people towards sustainable products.

The Global Mushroom Industry study of MarkNtel Advisors evaluates & highlights the major trends and influencing factors in each segment. It includes predictions for the period 2025–30 at the global level. Based on the analysis, the market has been further classified as:
Based on Type:
- Button Mushroom
- Shiitake Mushroom
- Oyster Mushroom
- Others
Based on the type of mushroom, button mushroom leads the market with a share of around 60%. The main reason behind this dominance is the nutritional benefits offered by these mushrooms.

Moreover, such species have high growing speed along with high quantity per unit area due to which they are less expensive as compared to other species and are widely used in recipes at homes and restaurants such as pizzas, salads, etc. Therefore, due to its low cost and several health provisions, button mushrooms have been the most used variety in past years, and this trend is expected to remain in the coming years as well.
Based on Form:
- Fresh
- Frozen
- Dried
- Canned
- Others
Based on the form of mushrooms, fresh mushrooms dominate the market with a market share of around 78%. The main reason behind this dominance is the need for people to eat fresh and organic food that does not have any preservatives added to it. This helps them to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Such mushrooms last up to 10 days under suitable conditions. Moreover, fresh mushrooms are cheaper as compared to other segments. This is because they reduce the cost of preservatives, packaging, etc. Additionally, the water from other mushrooms such as dried, canned, etc., is eliminated, and the nutritional part is left behind, which increases in price per gram. Therefore, due to people’s wish to consume fresh food and lower prices, fresh mushrooms have dominated the market, and this dominance is expected to remain in the forecast period as well.

Additionally, people in this region eat mushrooms due to their several health advantages, which further increases their demand in this region.
