U.S. Egg Market To Reach $84.60 Billion By 2033 | CAGR: 6.4%

U.S. Egg Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. egg market size is anticipated to reach USD 84.60 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The U.S. eggs industry’s growth is driven by rising consumer demand for affordable, high-quality protein and the growing use of eggs in food processing and manufacturing. According to the United Egg Producers, U.S. table egg production reached 93.1 billion eggs in 2024, supported by a commercial laying-hen flock of around 311 million birds . Eggs remain a cost-effective, nutrient-dense protein source that sustains strong retail and foodservice demand. In addition, processed egg products, such as liquid, dried, and frozen eggs, have gained traction due to their convenience, extended shelf life, and consistent quality. The use of egg-based products in bakery, confectionery, and nutritional formulations is increasing.

Moreover, the industry is significantly influenced by evolving production practices, disease outbreaks, and regulatory shifts that affect supply stability and pricing. The ongoing transition toward cage-free production systems, which accounted for nearly 38.7% of the national table-egg layer flock in 2025 (USDA), reflects rising consumer awareness and corporate commitments to animal welfare. This shift, coupled with periodic avian influenza outbreaks, increased production costs, and tighter supply, led to greater price volatility across retail and foodservice channels. These challenges encouraged producers to invest in automation, improved biosecurity, and value-added product lines to maintain profitability while ensuring long-term sustainability.
