Resumen

The global mushroom market has been experiencing a growing demand, with China maintaining its dominant position as the leading producer with 41.1 million tons in 2021. In Europe, Poland is the largest producer, contributing significantly to a stable production level of around 1,080,000 tons per year. Spain, as one of the leading European producers and exporters, a slight dip from 2020's record of 69.4 million kg. The Spanish market's turnover from mushroom sales reached 272 million euros in 2021. Truffles have also found their spotlight in Spain, with the country becoming the top global producer in recent times, estimated to produce 100 tons in 2022, mainly destined for exports due to limited domestic demand. The mushroom production in Spain is primarily located in Castilla-La Mancha and La Rioja, with supermarkets being the major distribution channel, accounting for 44.9% of fresh mushroom sales in 2021. Meanwhile, Spanish truffle prices exhibit volatility, yet the Spanish truffle still has a lower average price than the French truffle on the market.

Rising Demand for Varied Mushrooms in the Spanish Market

The Spanish market has witnessed an upswing in the consumption of mushrooms, signaling a promising outlook for growth. This market, characterized by a preference for button mushrooms, has seen a gradual shift toward an increased appetite for other varieties like Shiitake, which is rapidly gaining popularity. Within Spain, annual mushroom consumption has seen an appreciable increase, with households consuming between 60 and 70 million kg of fresh mushrooms, although there was a slight drop from the record year 2020. The per capita consumption also reflects this rise, with each Spaniard consuming approximately 1.4 kg of fresh mushrooms annually and spending close to 6 euros on them. Button mushrooms, also known as white mushrooms, are the most cultivated and consumed variety both globally and within Spain. In the broader European context, Spain stands as one of the leading producers and exporters, accounting for about 10% of Europe's mushroom production. The Neofungi group emerges as a significant player in the national button mushroom production while groups like Ayecue (Riberebro) lead in organic mushroom offerings.

The Spanish market seems to be embracing a healthy eating trend, as evidenced by the growing demand for mushrooms owing to their numerous benefits. National production is strongly supported by domestic giants, but there is also a push for innovation and diversification of product offerings within the market. Despite the overall growth, the demand for truffles, another coveted fungi variety, remains comparatively weaker domestically, prompting a substantial portion, between 80 and 90%, to be directed towards exports, with France being the principal market. Considering consumption patterns, Spaniards show a clear preference for fresh mushrooms, which constitute about 65% of their consumption, as opposed to frozen or prepared mushrooms. The trend is reinforced by the fact that mushrooms rank as the 7th most consumed type of fresh vegetables in Spain, making up about 2% of all vegetable consumption, trailing significantly behind fruits and potatoes. In conclusion, the Spanish mushroom market, while traditionally leaning towards white mushrooms, is evolving with a burgeoning demand for a diverse range of mushroom types. The increased domestic consumption, export potential, and consumer health consciousness suggest that mushrooms will remain a significant and growing component of Spanish gastronomy and agricultural production.

Resumen y extractos

1 Market overview

1.1 Definition and scope of the study

There are many varieties of mushrooms, but the most cultivated species in the world are among the following:

  • Button mushroom (also called white mushroom in the Spanish market) occupies the first place: it is the most cultivated variety in the world by far. China accounts for more than 50% of the world production;
  • Shiitake, from Asia, is the second most produced variety in the world;
  • The oyster mushroom occupies the third place in this ranking;

Although Spanish consumption of mushrooms is still well below that of many European countries, there is a definite upward trend in this consumption. The Spanish mushroom market thus offers very promising prospects for growth. although the white mushroom is still the most represented on the Spanish market, its consumption is growing less rapidly than other types of mushrooms such as Shiitake, which is gaining in popularity.

The Spanish mushroom market is supported by a few national production giants, such as the Neofungi group, which is strongly dominant in the national production of button mushrooms. Other groups are asserting more innovative positions, such as the Ayecue group (Riberebro), which markets the first range of organic mushrooms under the Riofresh brand. [FreshPlaza]
