Liquid eggs market in Sweden, 2026

Earlier Report Observations

The Swedish liquid egg market showed significant volatility between 2018 and 2023. Market volume fell from 12,333 tons in 2018 to 8,756 tons in 2020, but then surged by 40% to 12,296 tons in 2021. This sharp increase was primarily driven by a 69% rise in imports to 10,104 tons, which offset a decline in domestic production caused by outbreaks of avian influenza and salmonella in the Swedish egg industry that year.

After the 2021 peak, market volume contracted over the next two years, falling to 10,473 tons by 2023. Domestic production continued its downward trend, decreasing by 23% over the 2018-2023 period. A distinct salmonella outbreak in 2023 further constrained the market, reducing both supply and total consumption. Concurrently, persistently low investment willingness in the agricultural sector and stabilized but high costs for feed and energy pressured production margins throughout the period.

Looking at 2024, the ongoing impact of avian influenza and salmonella continued to affect supply. Egg prices in Sweden had risen sharply by approximately 26-31% during 2023-2024, influencing the liquid egg market. Consumer preferences were increasingly shifting towards organic and KRAV-certified eggs, while sustainability became a more central factor in product marketing and corporate strategy.
