Spain Mushroom Market

Spain Mushroom Market Overview:

The Spain mushroom market size reached USD 1,155.54 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,919.36 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.80% during 2025-2033. The growing environmental awareness among consumers is driving the demand for locally grown and sustainably sourced mushrooms, particularly in organic farming. Additionally, the robust foodservice industry, with a focus on health-conscious, plant-based, and clean-label options, is further increasing the Spain mushroom market share across various dining sectors.

Spain Mushroom Market Trends:

Shift Toward Sustainable and Locally Grown Mushrooms

With increasing environmental concerns, consumers are becoming more conscious about the ecological effects of their food selections. This environmental consciousness is leading to a shift towards products that are sustainably sourced and grown locally. Mushrooms, particularly those grown in regulated environments, possess a comparatively small environmental impact in relation to numerous other crops. This makes them an attractive option for environmentally aware buyers. The growing appeal of organic farming is catalyzing the demand for mushrooms, as these plants are cultivated without harmful chemicals, resonating with individuals desiring more natural and sustainable choices. In accordance with this change, novel advancements are arising to enhance the sustainability of mushroom cultivation. A clear instance of this is the Go Champlast initiative started by Aimplas in February 2025 in Spain. This project, in partnership with local organizations, seeks to create compostable biofilms for growing mushrooms, substituting conventional plastic mulch films typically utilized in agriculture. These biofilms aim to diminish plastic waste and enhance the overall sustainability of mushroom cultivation. Preliminary tests have revealed encouraging outcomes, indicating the feasibility of these biofilms for button and oyster mushrooms, while current trials are aimed at assessing their breakdown in composting. Such initiative highlights the increasing focus on sustainability within the mushroom sector, enhancing the attractiveness of mushrooms for eco-aware buyers and aiding in the growth of the market.

Expansion of Foodservice Industry

The foodservice sector, encompassing restaurants, catering services, and ready-to-eat (RTE) meal suppliers, is strengthening the Spain mushroom market growth. As the trend of eating out and ordering take-out rises, mushrooms are being more frequently included in the menus of various restaurants, particularly those that emphasize vegetarian, vegan, and health-oriented meal selections. Their adaptability enables use in both classic Spanish cuisine and creative dishes, establishing them as a fundamental ingredient in the foodservice industry. This adaptability is resulting in higher utilization, especially as individuals seek more plant-based and nutrient-rich dishes. Moreover, numerous food chains and eateries focusing on clean-label or natural ingredients are integrating mushrooms as a key component of their menus, thereby strengthening their market presence. This trend corresponds with the broader expansion of the Spanish foodservice sector. According to the IMARC Group, the Spanish foodservice market attained a significant USD 154.4 billion in 2024, emphasizing the swift growth of the sector. With restaurants and caterers increasingly recognizing the appeal of mushrooms as a healthy and sustainable ingredient, their inclusion in menus is driving broader consumer adoption.
