In 2023, Malaysia imported 10.9 million kilograms of dried mushrooms and truffles. The forecasted import values from 2024 to 2028 show a steady year-on-year increase. Specifically, a growth from 11.303 million kilograms in 2024 to 12.944 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a cumulative increase of 18.78% over the five-year period. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this period is approximately 3.48% per year. Historically, the variation over the last two years (2023-2024) is 3.68% and the year-on-year growth for 2025 is projected to be 3.74%.
Future trends to watch for include possible shifts in consumer preferences towards organic and specialty mushrooms, which could affect both the volume and value of imports. Trade policies and tariffs, environmental concerns, and supply chain disruptions could also have significant impacts on the import trends.
