Key Drivers Behind the Market Expansion in Oyster Mushroom Cultivation
The growing vegan population is a significant catalyst for the oyster mushroom cultivation market. Vegans, who avoid all animal-derived products including meat, eggs, and dairy, increasingly turn to oyster mushrooms as a nutritious and versatile substitute that fits their dietary needs. For example, in January 2024, Food Manufacture, a UK-based food industry news outlet, reported that the number of vegans in the United Kingdom increased by 1.1 million from the previous year, reaching about 2.5 million people or roughly 4.7% of the adult population. This demographic shift is markedly contributing to the rising demand for oyster mushrooms.

Understanding Oyster Mushroom Cultivation Practices
Oyster mushroom cultivation typically involves growing mushrooms organically on dead or decaying logs, sometimes utilizing dying deciduous or coniferous tree trunks found in temperate and tropical forests. These mushrooms thrive for about 6 to 8 months annually under moderate temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius and humidity levels between 57% and 70%. This natural growth cycle supports sustainable farming practices that appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
