Dried eggs market in Eastern Asia

Earlier Report Observations

The dried egg market in Eastern Asia grew from 168.7 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 185.9 thousand tonnes in 2020. This increase was supported by stable laying hen inventories, which ensured a steady supply of raw eggs for processing. In 2021, the market volume slightly declined to 183.8 thousand tonnes but stabilized at 184.5 thousand tonnes in 2022.

By 2023, the market reached 190.5 thousand tonnes. The growth was driven by the expansion of the egg processing sector, where the number of deep-processing enterprises increased and the production of convenient egg products rapidly developed. Simultaneously, an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza affected global supply chains, but rising laying hen inventories and investments in processing technology helped sustain market growth. In 2024, further reductions in feed costs and growing consumer demand for high-protein products supported the market environment.
