세계의 균사체 포장 시장 예측 - 제품별, 재료별, 원료별, 유통 채널별, 용도별, 최종사용자별, 지역별 분석(-2032년)

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Mycelium Packaging Market is accounted for $92.3 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $200.3 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period. Mycelium packaging is a sustainable, biodegradable material made from the root-like structure of fungi called mycelium. It is produced by growing mycelium on agricultural waste such as corn husks or hemp, forming a dense, foam-like structure. This material can be molded into various shapes to create protective packaging alternatives to plastic or Styrofoam. Once used, mycelium packaging naturally decomposes within weeks in composting environments, leaving no harmful residues. Its eco-friendly nature, durability, and insulation properties make it suitable for packaging electronics, cosmetics, and food. As a renewable and carbon-neutral solution, mycelium packaging supports the shift toward circular and green economies.

According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's 2023 circular economy assessment, 78% of customers consider sustainability while making purchasing decisions, up from 65% in 2020.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Environmental & Sustainability Pressures

Pressures from sustainability and the environment are major factors propelling the market. Businesses and consumers are actively looking for environmentally responsible alternatives as worries about landfill trash, carbon emissions, and plastic pollution grow on a global scale. Mycelium packaging is ideal for green projects and the objectives of the circular economy because it is biodegradable and manufactured from agricultural waste. Its use is further accelerated by regulatory laws and corporate ESG pledges, which position it as a sustainable solution across a range of industries, including electronics and cosmetics, thereby driving market growth.

Restraint:

High Production Costs

High production costs are a key impediment to the widespread use of mycelium packaging. Mycelium cultivation, processing, and scaling necessitate specialized equipment and longer manufacturing times than conventional packaging materials, which drives up costs. Particularly for small and medium-sized businesses, these exorbitant expenses impede market expansion. Consequently, despite the environmental advantages of mycelium packaging, many companies are still reluctant to switch, which restricts its economic growth.

Opportunity:

Regulatory & Government Support

Regulatory and government assistance are critical in propelling the Market. The usage of mycelium-based solutions has increased as a result of laws encouraging environmentally acceptable packaging, prohibitions on single-use plastics, and incentives for eco-friendly materials. Innovation and scalability are further supported by government research and development funding. Green certifications and environmental laws are also pushing industries to switch to biodegradable substitutes, making mycelium packaging a practical and legal choice. Commercial viability and market expansion are greatly enhanced by this regulatory drive.

Threat:

Scaling and Infrastructure Limitations

Scaling and infrastructure limitations pose significant challenges to the Mycelium Packaging Market. The production process requires specialized conditions and facilities, which are not yet widely available, hindering mass adoption. Limited scalability affects the ability to meet large-scale commercial demands, especially in comparison to traditional packaging. Additionally, high setup costs and lack of established distribution networks further slow market growth, making it difficult for manufacturers to expand operations and compete effectively.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic initially disrupted the Mycelium Packaging Market due to supply chain interruptions and reduced industrial activity. However, the growing awareness of environmental sustainability during the crisis boosted demand for eco-friendly packaging alternatives. As consumers and businesses shifted toward greener solutions, mycelium packaging gained traction, especially in food and e-commerce sectors. The pandemic highlighted the importance of biodegradable options, positioning mycelium as a viable long-term packaging solution post-COVID.

The agricultural waste segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The agricultural waste segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period because mycelium grows well on agricultural waste materials like husks, stalks, and straw, making it possible to produce environmentally acceptable packaging. By reusing garbage, this not only lessens reliance on artificial resources but also encourages circular economy principles. Demand is further increased by the growing emphasis on waste reduction and sustainable agriculture, which positions agricultural waste as a crucial factor in market expansion.

The glass segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the glass segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, due to demand for sustainable and protective packaging alternatives. Glass products, being fragile, require cushioning materials that are both durable and environmentally friendly. Mycelium packaging, with its shock-absorbing and biodegradable properties, serves as an ideal solution. The increasing shift of industries-especially food, beverage, and cosmetics-toward eco-conscious packaging for glass items accelerates the adoption of mycelium-based materials, boosting market growth and reinforcing sustainability efforts across the supply chain.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share because of growing environmental concerns, the need for sustainable packaging, and government programs that support environmentally friendly substitutes. The demand for biodegradable solutions is being driven by the region's growing e-commerce and food delivery industries, and the abundance of agricultural waste facilitates the manufacturing of mycelium at a reasonable cost. Asia Pacific is a major center for the development and use of mycelium-based packaging materials since nations like China, India, and Japan are investing in green technologies.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, owing to increasing environmental regulations, rising consumer awareness of sustainable packaging, and strong support from eco-conscious brands. The region's focus on reducing plastic waste and promoting circular economy initiatives has accelerated demand for biodegradable alternatives like mycelium. Technological advancements and investment in sustainable packaging R&D by major companies further support market growth, making North America a key hub for innovation and adoption of mycelium-based packaging solutions.
