Dried mushrooms are fresh, edible mushrooms that have been dehydrated naturally, without preservatives, to maintain their flavor and nutritional content for extended storage. Once rehydrated, they are utilized as ingredients in a wide range of dishes including soups, pasta, salads, snack seasonings, casseroles, and meat dishes.
The primary types of dried mushrooms include shiitake, button, oyster, reishi, milky, winter, and paddy straw mushrooms. Shiitake mushrooms are particularly valued for their robust, earthy taste and firm texture, popular in Asian cuisine and renowned for potential health benefits. These mushrooms are packaged in various forms such as cartons, boxes, and polyethylene bags, tailored for applications in food and beverages, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and other sectors. They are distributed through diverse channels including supermarkets, convenience stores, e-commerce platforms, and specialty stores.

The dried mushroom market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.92 billion in 2023 to $4.29 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The rise during the historic period was driven by a rising desire for umami taste, heightened consumer awareness, increasing popularity of vegan dishes, the natural composition and high vitamin D content of dried mushrooms, and a growing demand for organic foods.
The dried mushroom market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.22 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is fueled by increasing health and wellness trends, growing interest in vegan cuisine, versatile applications in food products, expansion of e-commerce platforms, and heightened consumer awareness about health. Key trends expected in this period include a surge in demand for plant-based proteins, the emergence of functional foods, a focus on sustainability and organic products, culinary innovations, and the popularity of mushroom blends.
The growing interest in vegan food is projected to fuel the dried mushroom market. Vegan food excludes all animal products such as meat, dairy, and eggs, and its popularity is driven by health, environmental, and ethical concerns. Concerns about animal welfare also motivate individuals to embrace veganism and avoid contributing to animal exploitation. Dried mushrooms play a significant role in the appeal of vegan cuisine by imparting a rich umami flavor and meat-like texture that enhance plant-based dishes. For instance, Grubhub reported a 17% increase in vegan food delivery orders in 2021, with plant-based burgers rising by 28% and vegetarian orders surging by 55% compared to 2020 trends. Thus, the rising interest in vegan food is a key driver of the dried mushroom market.
