Shiitake Mushrooms Market Type Segment Analysis

According to Cognitive Market Research, in 2023, button mushrooms led the market. During the forecast period, the segment is predicted to increase at an 8.9% revenue-based CAGR.

Furthermore, their lower costs in comparison to their competitors are expected to boost the market throughout the forecast period. Shiitake products are famous around the world due to their rich, savory flavor and several health benefits. These mushrooms can be eaten fresh or processed, such as dried; however, dried shiitake mushrooms are more popular because of their umami flavor

The oyster type is predicted to have the greatest revenue-based CAGR of 11.3% throughout the projection period. They are used in a variety of dishes and are very popular in China, Japan, and Korea for cooking due to their delicate texture and mild-savory flavor.

Shiitake Mushrooms Market Form Segment Analysis

According to Cognitive Market Research, In 2023, fresh mushrooms had an 89.5% revenue share of the mushroom market. Fresh mushrooms have experienced significant development in demand in recent years, owing to an increase in the number of consumers who prioritize organic and unprocessed food intake in order to maximize the product's health benefits. Fresh-form distribution is challenging for producers and distributors due to their short shelf life. However, technological advancements, such as the use of modified environment packaging, have alleviated the limits associated with mushrooms' short shelf life, hence favoring segment expansion

The processed form is predicted to experience a revenue-based CAGR between 2023 and 2032. Dried, frozen, canned, pickled, and powdered products are examples of processed foods. Additional processing, such as canning, freezing, or drying, is required to extend the shelf life of mushrooms. Manufacturers are progressively offering packaged items to tap into the processed and convenience food sectors. The increased use of powders and extracts by food and cosmetics industries is likely to promote industry growth throughout the forecast period

They immediately spread their fuzzy white growths throughout the grain, producing spawn. This is mixed into steam-pasteurized compost before being spread on trays or bags. These are placed in temperature and humidity-controlled environments, and mushrooms emerge two to three weeks later
