Mushrooms are considered a high-nutrient food with low fat and calorie content and a great source of many important nutrients. Mushrooms are rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, B vitamins (niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid), selenium, copper, potassium, and phosphorus. It also contains antioxidants such as ergothioneine and glutathione, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Mushrooms are also a good source of dietary fiber, which can help improve digestion and promote feelings of fullness. Further, shiitake and maitake mushrooms contain beta-glucans that stimulate the immune system.
For instance, as per USDA, the mushroom sales for 2021 – 2022 in the United States were 702 million pounds worth 1.01 billion USD, while the total value of mushrooms sold in Canada rose 5.1% to $619.7 million in 2020.
The growing investment in smart automation in mushroom production further boosts the market. Smart automation refers to using advanced technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve the efficiency and productivity of mushroom farming.
Some ways that smart automation impacts the market include helping growers automate many of the manual tasks involved in mushroom farming, such as harvesting, sorting, and packaging, and reducing labor costs by automating many of the functions involved in mushroom farming. It also helps growers increase their production capacity, allowing them to grow more mushrooms in a shorter period. It can help them meet the growing demand for mushrooms in the global market.
The covid 19 pandemic has had a long-term positive impact on the mushroom market. Consumers' consumption patterns have changed manifold for several reasons and led to an increase in demand for mushrooms due to their perceived immune-boosting properties. Many people seek foods that can help support their immune systems, and mushrooms are believed to offer these benefits. Further, a shift from traditional to online buying behavior has been witnessed in the pandemic period, and some mushroom growers have also shifted their focus to online sales channels to reach customers directly.
While the pandemic has also hampered the market in a short term owing to factors such as the disruption of supply chains and the closure of restaurants. The pandemic is characterized by supply chain disruptions, making it difficult for some growers to get their products to market. It has resulted in shortages and higher prices for certain types of mushrooms. Further, with many restaurants and other food service establishments closed or operating at reduced capacity due to the pandemic, there has been a decrease in demand for certain types of mushrooms that are typically used in these settings.
Higher operational costs in mushroom cultivation have remained a key factor that restricts the market's growth in the years to come. Mushroom cultivation requires a substrate, the material on which the mushrooms are grown. The substrate can be made from various materials, including straw, sawdust, and other agricultural waste products. Further, humidity, light, temperature, insects, and animal pests affect the market's success.
Another limiting factor for the market is the perishability of mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms have a relatively short shelf life and must be handled carefully to avoid spoilage. It can make it difficult for growers to transport and store their mushrooms and limit their ability to reach certain markets.
