Looking ahead, the market is expected to continue its strong upward trajectory, reaching $7.08 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 8.4%.

Key trends during this period include surging demand for shelf-stable mushroom ingredients, broader use in functional foods and dietary supplements, development of powdered mushroom products, focus on nutrient retention during drying, and advanced packaging solutions to extend shelf life.
Understanding Dried Mushrooms and Their Uses
Dried mushrooms are simply fresh, edible mushrooms that have undergone dehydration without the use of preservatives, allowing them to retain both flavor and nutritional qualities for long-term storage. Once rehydrated, they serve as versatile ingredients in a variety of dishes such as soups, pastas, salads, seasoning blends for snacks, casseroles, and meat-based recipes, enhancing taste and texture.

Ethical and Health Motivations Propel Dried Mushroom Market Expansion
One of the main forces driving growth in the dried mushroom market is the rising interest in vegan food. Vegan diets exclude all animal products including meat, dairy, and eggs, and emphasize plant-based ingredients. This dietary shift is largely motivated by health concerns, environmental sustainability, and ethical considerations regarding animal welfare. Many consumers adopt veganism to avoid contributing to animal exploitation.
Dried mushrooms play a crucial role in satisfying this demand by providing a rich, umami flavor along with a meaty texture that greatly improves the appeal of plant-based meals. For example, data from August 2024 by the World Animal Foundation, a US-based digital platform advocating animal rights and humane treatment, indicates that 4 percent of the US population practices veganism. Additionally, plant-based food sales in the US grew by 6.6% in 2022. These factors underline how the growing popularity of vegan diets is significantly boosting the dried mushroom market.
