Summary and extracts

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]
