Dried eggs market in ASEAN

Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for dried eggs in ASEAN stood at 7 076 t in 2018 but fell to 5 906 t in 2019. It recovered to 7 029 t in 2020, driven by increased demand for long-shelf-life food products during the COVID-19 pandemic and a growing consumer focus on healthy, high-protein diets.

Market volume expanded to 7 547 t in 2021, supported by the growth of the bakery and confectionery sectors, which use dried eggs as a key ingredient, alongside the sustained health and wellness trend. In 2022, the market stabilized at 7 397 t as consumer preferences shifted toward organic and cage-free eggs, and manufacturers invested in high-quality inputs for premium products.

By 2023, the market volume declined to 6 995 t amid significant egg price fluctuations caused by supply chain disruptions and adverse weather. Major players like Cal‑Maine Foods invested in cage‑free and organic egg production to meet rising demand for healthier options, while stricter animal‑welfare regulations and clean‑label trends continued to reshape the industry.
