The Mycelium Market Size is valued at 3.14 Billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach 5.99 Billion by the year 2031 at a 7.5 % CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
- The rising demand for natural flavours in the food industry is driving the growth of the mycelium market.
- The adoption of eco-friendly solutions is another driver for the mycelium market.
- North America dominated the market and accounted for a global revenue share in 2023.
- The critical challenges for the mycelium market are the low level of commercialization and labour-intensive production processes.
Filamentous fungi generate microscopically interconnected tubular cells, eventually yielding a vast macroscopic network of biomass called mycelium. Mycelium offers several benefits to the whole ecosystem and plays an essential role in decomposition. Mycelium materials can be used to produce leather and for sustainable, eco-friendly packaging.
Multiple factors such as the surging demand for natural ingredients and flavours for food, increasing government investments for developing eco-friendly products, advancements in technologies are estimated to propel the growth of the mycelium market in the upcoming years.
The market is further driven by growing focus towards creating sustainable products and packaging solutions, and the rising consumer awareness regarding health and well-being. Industries like food & beverage, packaging, plastic and clothes have shown great interest in generating eco-friendly and sustainable products using mycelium. These efforts by industries are likely to surge the market opportunities over the forecast period. However, the lack of infrastructure facilities available for processing mycelium materials may hinder the market growth over the forecast years.
