Dried eggs market in South America

Earlier Report Observations

The South American dried eggs market showed notable fluctuations in volume between 2018 and 2023. After starting at 15 221 t in 2018, it contracted to 14 565 t the following year. A significant recovery followed, pushing the market above 16 500 t in 2020 and 2021, before it gradually eased to 15 909 t by 2023.

Throughout this period, the market's structure was shaped by consistent demand from the industrial bakery sector, the largest end-user of dried eggs, which values the product for its reduced volume and fat-free properties. By 2024, the global egg market was affected by avian influenza outbreaks in major producing regions, an event that increased worldwide prices and shifted demand towards processed and storable egg products like dried eggs, a trend that also reached South America.
