Liquid eggs market in ASEAN

Earlier Report Observations

The ASEAN liquid eggs market volume expanded consistently from 24 228 t in 2018 to 32 847 t in 2022, with market value rising from $70.6 million to $89.2 million over the same period. This growth was underpinned by increasing domestic production, which climbed from 29 411 t to 36 570 t, reflecting the region's expanding processing capacity.

In 2023, market volume experienced a modest decline to 32 100 t, yet the market's value jumped significantly to $113.0 million. This shift occurred alongside a notable increase in exports, which reached 10 878 t, indicating that a greater share of production was directed overseas. Domestic production continued its upward trend, reaching 41 126 t, suggesting the market was evolving toward higher-value product segments.

The regional industry's foundation was strengthened by the establishment of over 150 new liquid egg processing facilities in Southeast Asia between 2022 and 2024, which boosted production capabilities. Technological advancements in pasteurization and packaging extended product shelf life and safety, while stricter food safety regulations encouraged the adoption of processed liquid eggs in foodservice. Concurrently, consumer demand shifted toward cage-free, organic, and convenient ready-to-use ingredients, further shaping the market's development.
