Mycelium Brick Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 7.59% through 2030F
The increasing global mycelium brick
market is driven by rise of circular economy and biofabrication in
construction, integration into green building certifications and ESG Goals
during the forecast period 2026-2030F.
According to TechSci Research report, “Mycelium Brick Market – Global
Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, The
Global Mycelium Brick Market was valued at USD 1.18 Billion in 2024 and is
expected to reach USD 1.85 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.59% during the
forecast period. The increasing focus on circular economy principles is
reshaping construction material preferences, propelling demand for
biodegradable and regenerative materials like mycelium bricks. Builders and
architects are moving beyond carbon-neutral goals to embrace carbon-negative
solutions that can decompose naturally or even enrich the soil after
end-of-life. Mycelium, being grown from waste biomass and fungi, aligns
perfectly with this ideology. Biofabrication—the process of creating materials
using living organisms—is becoming a central trend in sustainable design. It
allows hyper-localized production of materials with minimal environmental
impact. Mycelium bricks represent a practical manifestation of this concept,
allowing builders to “grow” walls or panels from local waste and fungal
strains. This reduces reliance on resource-intensive materials like cement and
steel.
Several innovators in architectural
design are exploring the use of modular mycelium components, which can be
produced on-site or in decentralized hubs. These materials can then be
composted or regenerated at the end of their lifecycle, fitting neatly into
urban plans emphasizing zero waste and regenerative construction. As cities and
governments set ambitious net-zero targets, mycelium bricks are increasingly
being considered as viable building blocks for low-carbon housing, temporary
shelters, and public installations. This trend is especially relevant in
disaster-prone regions, where temporary yet biodegradable housing is needed.
The convergence of circular economy policies, growing environmental
consciousness, and urban resilience planning is turning biofabrication from a
niche concept into a mainstream construction trend.

Based on product type, Mycelium
agricultural waste composites is the fastest growing segment in the global Mycelium
Brick market during the forecast period, due to its sustainable sourcing, cost-effectiveness,
and versatility in construction applications. These composites are created by
inoculating fungal mycelium onto agricultural residues such as wheat straw,
corn husks, rice hulls, sawdust, or hemp hurds. This approach not only diverts
biomass waste from landfills but also enables a closed-loop, low-carbon
material lifecycle. The agricultural waste used as feedstock is widely
available, particularly in countries like India, China, Brazil, and the U.S.,
where agricultural activities are extensive. Using locally sourced waste
materials reduces transportation emissions and raw material costs by up to 40–50%,
significantly improving overall production economics. Additionally, the
embedded nutrients in such waste enhance mycelial growth, resulting in faster
brick formation times averaging 5–7 days.
Composites made from agricultural waste typically
offer enhanced insulation (thermal conductivity between 0.03–0.05 W/m·K) and
satisfactory compressive strength for non-structural applications such as
partition walls and panels. Innovations in bio-binding techniques have further
improved water resistance and fire-retardancy of these composites, making them
suitable for diverse climates and conditions. Another growth driver is the
compatibility of agricultural waste composites with 3D molds, allowing the
creation of customized shapes and dimensions, which is essential for modular
and prefabricated building segments. This adaptability aligns with the rising
demand for flexible, lightweight, and biodegradable materials in
green-certified construction. Environmental regulations promoting the use of low-VOC,
biodegradable, and renewable materials support the adoption of mycelium
agricultural composites across both developed and emerging markets. Moreover,
collaboration between agritech and green construction startups is scaling up
localized manufacturing, further propelling this segment’s expansion across
residential, commercial, and temporary architectural sectors.
Based on region, Asia Pacific is the
fastest growing region in the Global Mycelium Brick Market during the forecast
period owing to its vast agricultural biomass availability, rapid urbanization,
and increasing emphasis on sustainable construction solutions. Countries like
China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia produce significant amounts of
agricultural waste, which can serve as abundant feedstock for growing mycelium
composites at low cost. Government policies supporting green infrastructure and
low-carbon buildings are also accelerating growth. For example, India’s “Green
Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA)” and China’s “Green Building
Evaluation Standard” promote bio-based and circular materials. These regulatory
frameworks have encouraged startups and academic institutions to explore
bio-fabricated bricks as substitutes for cement-based construction.
Urban growth across Asia is expected to account for over
50% of global construction activity in the next decade. The growing demand for
affordable housing, temporary shelters, and modular buildings is creating
fertile ground for the integration of lightweight and cost-efficient materials
like mycelium bricks. In fact, several Indian and Southeast Asian universities
and private firms have already launched pilot programs using mycelium-agriculture
composites for wall panels, thermal insulation, and partition boards. Asia
Pacific’s cost advantages in labor and production infrastructure allow local
companies to produce mycelium bricks at 10–30% lower costs compared to Western
countries. Additionally, widespread adoption of 3D printing, bioreactor farms,
and decentralized manufacturing models is enabling faster regional scale-up of
bio-brick manufacturing units. As awareness around carbon-negative materials,
zero-waste architecture, and eco-certification grows, demand from eco-conscious
developers, NGOs, and urban municipalities is surging. Mycelium-based materials
also align well with regional circular economy strategies, such as Japan’s
“Sound Material-Cycle Society” plan and South Korea’s green growth roadmap.
These factors combined position Asia Pacific as a high-potential, rapidly
expanding market in the coming years.
