DRIVERS
-
Multi-functionality of Oyster Mushroom
Oyster mushrooms contain a lot of protein, Vitamin D, antioxidants, and fiber. They have a low calorific value and a high fiber content. They may also lower the risk of developing serious health issues such as Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Consumers today prefer foods that are both healthy and easy to consume.

-
Development in Trends of Plant-Based as well as Vegan Food
The increasing awareness among consumers for consuming plant-based, vegan items is proving to be a significant driving factor for market growth. The plant-based, non-GMO, and clean-label products are proven to be healthy. Health-conscious customers switching towards sustainable food products is increasing the demand for organic and plant-based food items. With this trend, manufacturers produce such products in bulk to generate higher revenues. With this increasing trend of eating organic food, the market is expected to grow.
As a result, the plant-based and vegan food trends are significantly increasing demand for oyster mushrooms. Because of the high demand for such products among consumers, the market is expected to expand significantly.
RESTRAINT
-
Limited Shelf Life of Oyster Mushrooms
Mushrooms are highly perishable in nature, deteriorating within a day of harvesting due to their high respiration rate and delicate epidermal structure. Their short shelf life can be attributed to fresh mushrooms' high respiratory rate as well as a lack of cuticles to protect them from physical or microbial changes or dehydration. As a result, freshly harvested mushrooms have a limited shelf life.
Mushrooms have a shorter shelf life than most ready-to-eat vegetables due to their rapid respiration rate and lack of a barrier to protect them from water loss or microbial attack. Enzymatic browning occurs when the enzyme tyrosinase comes into contact with its substrate and starts a chain of reactions that results in brown melanin pigments. It will reduce the market value of the product. It is prone to microbial attack. This risk factor in oyster mushroom cultivation can hamper the market growth.
OPPORTUNITY
-
Rising Demand for Low Calorie and High Protein Food
Nowadays, low-calorie, high-protein diets are in high demand, particularly with the rise in the number of people looking to lose weight and gain lean muscle. An essential macronutrient, protein aids in muscle growth, and recuperation, and keeps full so do not excessively binge. However, not all foods give the body the same amount of protein. Contrary to what people would all believe, not everyone requires the same amounts of proteins. For those trying to lose weight, build lean muscle to support their athletic talents, or increase their stamina in sports, a high-protein diet is necessary. Oyster mushrooms are one of those foods that are high in protein and low in calories, hence they are often included as primary ingredients in vegan sports food items. Thus, by increasing the number of new product launches in the sports and fitness business, opportunities are created.
Opportunities should arise as a result of their immunity-boosting qualities and excellent nutritional and low-calorie values in the food and beverage sector for oyster mushrooms in North America.
CHALLENGE
- Availability of Substitute Products
The availability of substitutes for oyster mushrooms such as tofu, tempeh, zucchini, squash, artichoke hearts, lentils, leeks, and others is posing a significant challenge to market growth. There is the availability of a large number of oyster mushroom substitute products that are comparatively cheaper and readily available in the market, as the cultivation process of other substitutes is less complicated and does not require highly skilled workers, which will pose a challenge to market growth. Furthermore, the requirement of a high level of management skills during the oyster mushroom cultivation process is a significant challenge because it makes cultivation difficult, which directly impacts oyster mushroom prices, making it difficult for small-scale manufacturers to afford. As a result, they opt for cheaper and more readily available substitute products such as tofu, tempeh, zucchini, squash, artichoke hearts, and others posing a significant challenge to market growth.
Hence, the availability of substitutes poses a significant challenge to the expansion of the market. As a result, manufacturers of food and beverages, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals are more likely to choose substitute products with comparable nutritional value and medicinal properties. Furthermore, some substitutes offer comparable flavors and nutrients at a lower cost. As a result, this will pose a significant challenge and impede the market growth.
Post-COVID-19 Impact on North America Oyster Mushroom Cultivation Market
Post the pandemic, the demand for mushrooms has increased as there will not be any restrictions on movement. Hence, the supply of products would be easy. The persistence of COVID-19 for a longer period has affected the supply chain as it got disrupted, and it became difficult to supply food products to consumers, initially increasing the demand for products. However, post-COVID-19, the demand for mushrooms increased significantly owing to good protein content and other nutrients available.
