The growth observed in the historic period can be ascribed to various factors, including a heightened interest in traditional medicine, an increased awareness of health and wellness, extensive research and publications, the expansion of the dietary supplement industry, as well as culinary uses and adaptation.

The reishi mushroom market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.39 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the sustained interest in holistic health, an increasing demand for functional foods, the exploration of novel applications, the global expansion of awareness regarding herbal medicine, and ongoing research and clinical studies.

The reishi mushroom market is set for robust growth, fueled by the increasing demand for functional foods and dietary supplements. Functional foods, offering not only nutrients and energy but also positive impacts on specific bodily processes, have gained significant popularity. Likewise, there is a notable demand for dietary supplements, including vitamins, minerals, and herbal products, sought after for their health benefits. Reishi mushrooms, utilized as a dietary supplement, contribute to stress reduction, liver and heart health improvement, longevity promotion, and immune system enhancement. The heightened demand is underscored by a survey conducted by Kerry Group plc in November 2021, revealing that 44% of respondents reported an uptick in dietary supplement purchases since the onset of the pandemic, with 42% increasing their acquisitions of functional or fortified foods and beverages. A similar trend is evident in the Consumer Survey on Dietary Supplements by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) in October 2021, indicating an increase in the number of Americans consuming dietary supplements from 73% in 2020 to 80% in 2021. Consequently, the surging demand for functional foods and dietary supplements stands as a pivotal driver for the growth of the reishi mushroom market.

The escalating emphasis on health and wellness is expected to further drive the expansion of the reishi mushroom market. Health and wellness, encompassing physical, mental, and social well-being, have become integral components of individuals' lives. Reishi mushrooms, recognized for their therapeutic properties, find applications in dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods. These mushrooms are believed to possess anti-angiogenic, anti-cancer, and cholesterol-lowering qualities, contributing to overall well-being. In alignment with this trend, reports from EnterpriseAppsToday in February 2023 reveal that 78% of residents in the USA adjusted their diets after consulting healthcare professionals. This growing interest in health and wellness serves as a significant catalyst propelling the expansion of the reishi mushroom market.
