Not in shell eggs and egg yolks market in Americas

Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, Mexico's production and market volume for not in shell eggs and egg yolks demonstrated overall growth, rising from 160.4 thousand tons to 176.8 thousand tons, despite a temporary contraction in 2022. The period began with the country having one of the world's highest per capita consumption rates and a dynamic poultry sector, which supported steady output increases. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 significantly accelerated demand for processed and long-shelf-life egg products like egg powder, as the food industry and catering services sought stable ingredients, prompting investments in expanded processing infrastructure.

After peaking in 2021, production and market size declined in 2022 before rebounding strongly to a new high in 2023. The industry navigated global challenges such as avian influenza, leveraging Mexico's relatively lower impact to boost exports of egg powder, particularly to markets in the Middle East and Asia. This export growth, alongside sustained domestic demand, facilitated the market's recovery.

Consumer preferences progressively shifted towards healthier and ethical options, driving demand for differentiated products like organic, free-range, and nutrient-enriched eggs. Regulatory changes in labeling for organic products aligned with these trends. The industry's strategic focus expanded to include more value-added processing, strengthening both domestic supply and international trade flows for specialized egg products.
