Egg Market Size To Reach $585.37 Billion By 2033 | CAGR 6.6%

Egg Market Growth & Trends

The global egg market size is anticipated to reach USD 585.37 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The eggs and egg products industry is experiencing strong growth, driven by rising health awareness, increased protein consumption, and the expanding use of egg products across the food and beverage sector. Eggs are a key source of affordable, high-quality protein and essential amino acids. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global egg production reached 97 million tons in 2023, due to the rising population and improvements in the regular diet. The growing popularity of protein-rich diets, along with demand for convenient, high-nutrient food products, is driving consumption of whole and processed egg products, including liquid, powdered, and frozen eggs.

Technological advances in pasteurization and packaging are significantly improving the safety, quality, and shelf life of egg products, making them better suited for global trade and industrial applications. Modern pasteurization techniques, such as high-temperature, short-time (HTST) and ultra-pasteurization, effectively eliminate harmful pathogens, such as Salmonella, without compromising the nutritional or functional properties of eggs. Moreover, innovations in packaging technology, including aseptic packaging, vacuum sealing, and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), extend product freshness by minimizing oxygen exposure and bacterial growth. These solutions not only reduce food waste but also improve transport efficiency by enabling longer storage and safer export of processed eggs.

Furthermore, government-backed food security programs and sustainability initiatives are reinforcing this technology progress. For instance, China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs continues investing in modern layer-farming systems to enhance self-sufficiency. At the same time, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) promotes biosecurity and animal welfare to protect the domestic supply. The rising demand for cage-free and organic eggs, supported by stricter welfare regulations across the EU and North America, is reshaping production models worldwide. Together, these advancements and policy measures are driving the industry toward sustainable and efficient practices.
