The global mycelium-based building materials market size was estimated at USD 910.3 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2,546.8 million by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 12.1% from 2025 to 2033, driven by the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials. As environmental concerns related to carbon emissions and resource depletion intensify, there is a growing shift toward bio-based alternatives that minimize environmental impact.
Mycelium, the root-like structure of fungi, offers a renewable, biodegradable, and carbon-negative solution, making it an attractive substitute for traditional materials like concrete, plastic, and insulation foam. Its ability to grow using agricultural waste further enhances its sustainability credentials, aligning with the global push for circular economy practices and green building certifications.
Technological advancements in biotechnology and material science are further accelerating the adoption of mycelium-based building materials. Continuous innovations in cultivation processes, composite formulation, and fabrication techniques have improved the strength, durability, and scalability of mycelium-based products. Companies and research institutions are developing engineered mycelium composites suitable for structural and non-structural applications such as panels, insulation, and acoustic materials. These technological improvements are enabling the material to meet international building standards, encouraging broader use across the construction industry and driving market growth.
The market is also fueled by rising investments and collaborations among biotechnology firms, construction material manufacturers, and research organizations. Governments and private investors are increasingly funding sustainable material development projects to support low-carbon infrastructure goals. Initiatives promoting the use of bio-based materials in public buildings and infrastructure projects have created new growth avenues. Furthermore, the entry of innovative startups and partnerships with established construction firms are enhancing the commercialization of mycelium-based materials, making them more accessible and cost-competitive in global markets.
