Manufacturers and consumers are prioritizing clean-label, plant-based supplements, pushing mushroom extract adoption across the dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages, and cosmetics and personal care industries. Polaris analysts note that a 2021 NSF global survey found 88% of food industry practitioners anticipated rising demand for plant-based products, positioning the segment for sustained growth through 2034, with dietary supplements emerging as the largest revenue contributor and reishi extract posting the fastest incremental gains among product segments.

Key Trends Shaping the Mushroom Extracts Industry

Innovative Product Launches

Companies are developing an expanding range of mushroom extract products, from functional beverages and dietary supplements to skincare and wellness items. In July 2024, Applied Food Sciences introduced MycoThrive Lion's Mane, a clinically studied extract targeting cognitive performance and overall well-being, reflecting a broader industry trend toward combining mushroom extracts with other health-boosting ingredients in convenient powder and liquid formats.

Growing Investments in Extraction Technology
