The import volume of prepared or preserved mushrooms to Malaysia stood at 13.186 million kilograms in 2023. Analyzing the year-on-year variations, the years leading up to 2023 showed relatively moderate fluctuations in import volumes, with some years experiencing minor declines and others showing slight growth. The last two years (2022 and 2023) saw steady increases of 1.4% and 1.35% respectively. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was 0.63%, indicating a stable trend in imports.
Looking forward, forecasts suggest a continued, albeit modest, growth in the import volumes, approximately a 0.96% CAGR over the next five years, culminating in an estimated volume of 14.016 million kilograms by 2028. This translates to a forecasted five-year growth rate of 4.92%.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences, shifts in global mushroom supply chains, and economic factors that could affect import volumes. Additionally, any new trade regulations or agreements may impact the ease of importing prepared mushrooms to Malaysia.
