The Middle East egg market size is anticipated to reach USD 11.37 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The industry is witnessing strong growth driven by rising food security initiatives, domestic production expansion, and shifts in consumer preferences toward high-quality, protein-rich foods.
Governments across the region, particularly in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman heavily investing to achieve self-sufficiency in egg production, supported by national strategies such as the UAE Food Security Strategy 2051 and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. These policies encourage local poultry farming, modern processing facilities, and technological integration to reduce import dependency. In addition, urbanization and population growth are boosting per capita egg consumption, while retail and foodservice sectors are expanding their product ranges to include value-added and processed egg formats such as liquid, powdered, and pasteurized eggs, catering to bakery, confectionery, and HORECA applications.
Moreover, industry consolidation and partnerships are shaping market dynamics. Notable examples include the formation of Al Ain Farms Group in the UAE, uniting major producers under one entity to enhance capacity and supply chain efficiency, and LuLu Group’s collaboration with the Saudi Egg Producers’ Association to strengthen local sourcing. These moves are improving production scalability, cost efficiency, and product freshness across GCC markets. The entry of egg replacers and alternative protein products presents both competition and innovation opportunities, as bakeries and food manufacturers explore substitutes to manage costs and sustainability concerns. Collectively, these drivers are positioning the Middle East market for sustained growth, supported by modernization, localization, and evolving consumer demand for convenience and quality.

The brown eggs segment dominated the product segment, with a 62.5% share in 2025, driven by the rising consumer preference for natural and organic products, coupled with the perception that brown eggs are healthier and more sustainable than white eggs.
The white eggs product segment, on the other hand, is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the growing demand for fresh, unprocessed eggs across household and foodservice applications.
By production category, the pasture-raised segment dominated the Middle East eggs industry with the largest revenue share in 2025. Rising health awareness led consumers to prefer eggs that are more natural, nutritious, and free from antibiotics and hormones, boosting demand for pasture-raised eggs.
The B2B application dominated the end-use application segment, with the largest share in 2025, due to the extensive utilization of eggs and egg products in bakery, confectionery, ready-to-eat meals, and dairy formulations for their emulsifying, binding, and foaming properties.
In September 2025, LuLu Group signed an MoU with the Saudi Egg Producers’ Association to source eggs directly from local poultry farms. The partnership supports Saudi food security goals, ensures fresher supply, and promotes price efficiency across LuLu’s 27 stores in the Kingdom.
