Earlier Report Observations

The Australian liquid egg market volume fluctuated between 2018 and 2021, starting at 2 388 tons in 2018 before declining to 2 232 tons in 2019 and further to 1 953 tons in 2020. The market then recovered sharply in 2021, reaching 2 380 tons, nearly matching the initial level.

In 2022, market volume dipped to 2 306 tons, influenced by supply chain disruptions and biosecurity threats such as avian influenza, which constrained domestic production. Despite this, consumer demand for convenient and health-focused egg products, including liquid eggs, remained strong, supported by rising per capita egg consumption and a shift toward free-range systems. By 2023, the market expanded to 2 475 tons as production partially recovered, while convenience and protein-rich food trends continued to underpin demand.

Through the period, the liquid egg market in Australia was shaped by evolving consumer preferences for ethical sourcing and sustainability, with free-range eggs accounting for over half of grocery retail sales. These trends, along with ongoing supply chain adjustments, contributed to the market's resilience and gradual growth after the earlier contractions.
