The historical expansion is credited to the rise in demand for easy-to-prepare food items, an upward trend in processed food products, a surge in the need for liquid eggs, an increase in demand from the food and beverages sector, and enhanced usage of fluid eggs.
The liquid egg market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated to experience robust expansion in the subsequent years, the liquid egg market's size is forecasted to reach $7.62 billion in 2029, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.7%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the prediction period include the escalating demand for liquid eggs in both the food & beverage and foodservice & catering sectors, an increase in sustainable packaging, a rise in the utilization of fluid eggs, and an upswing in the food service industry. The projection period is also expected to witness major developments, such as the launch of new products, innovative packaging strategies, technological advancements, and infrastructural improvements.
The rise in popularity for quick and effortless meals is anticipated to spur the expansion of the liquid eggs sector in the future. Food items that are industrially prepared to be consumed with little to no preparation fall under the category of convenience food. Factors such as healthy options, online delivery and meal kits, along with hectic lifestyles, contribute to the growing interest in such foods. Liquid eggs offer a boon to food preparation by providing a ready to use, pasteurized ingredient that ensures effectiveness and uniformity in creating convenience food like pastries, sauces, and omelets. In July of 2024, the United States Department of Agriculture, a federal agency situated in the US, noted that the overall worth of the processed food products exported from the US escalated to $38.11 billion in 2022, a rise from $34.19 billion in 2021. Hence, the increasing popularity for convenience food will fuel the expansion of the liquid eggs sector.
