Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, India's liquid egg market volume grew from 6 771 tons to 10 418 tons, while market value increased from USD 16.5 million to USD 24.4 million. The initial expansion was fueled by penetration into rural tier-2 and tier-3 cities and rising consumer demand for organic, cage-free eggs. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 further boosted demand for protein-rich poultry products, sustaining volume growth, while a shift toward branded, hygienically packaged eggs drove higher average prices.

Post-2020, the industry saw strengthened export potential for processed egg products like pasteurized liquid eggs and egg powder, supported by government subsidies and soft loans. This export focus, coupled with avian influenza outbreaks affecting supply, contributed to a temporary dip in domestic market volume in 2022, even as production continued to rise. Investments in breaking, pasteurizing, and packaging lines expanded processing capacity.

By 2023, the market value posted a notable 14.9% increase, underpinned by the ongoing consumer transition to premium, branded egg products and the growth of the egg powder segment. Feed cost volatility and competition in export markets remained influential, but the underlying trend toward convenience, food safety, and higher-value offerings continued to shape the market's trajectory.
