Mushroom Market
Demand for mushrooms is growing. The market for mushrooms such as Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, and Chaga is rising. These mushrooms have numerous benefits that we are still discovering today. Mushrooms are an extremely beneficial and nutritious functional food that will continue to be a key player in the global functional food market. The market is set to reach a value of $34.3 Billion USD by 2024.
Where Mushrooms Are Grown Matters
Mushrooms, even more than other foods, are a product of their environment. They absorb all pollution, pesticides, heavy metals, or even chemical waste that is present in the area they are grown. In 2017 it was estimated that over 85% of mushrooms coming into North America were imported and that these imported mushrooms contained dangerous amounts of illegal pesticide residue, added hormones, preservatives, and illegal fertilizers.
Growing Mushroom Market
Global Revenue in 2016 – 2024
The global functional food market is expected to reach $34.3 Billion USD by 2024, registering a CAGR of 8.04% during the forecast period (2019-2024)
The market studied is expected to experience huge demand for Reishi and Cordyceps and this is why Havn Life has decided to pursue formulations with these mushrooms.
