Not in shell eggs and egg yolks market in ASEAN

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the ASEAN market for not in shell eggs and egg yolks expanded steadily, fueled by growing demand from the processed food and quick-service restaurant sectors for convenient, protein-rich ingredients. Investments in advanced processing technologies like pasteurization and spray drying improved product safety and shelf life, supporting production growth. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 accelerated this trend, as supply chain disruptions and changing consumption habits boosted demand for longer-lasting formats such as dried and frozen eggs, leading to a sharp increase in market volume to over 37 000 tons.

After the initial pandemic-driven spike, market growth continued through 2022, supported by regulatory tightening on food safety labeling, the entry of new players focusing on frozen and powdered egg products, and the launch of value-added lines like customized mixes. By 2023, the physical market volume saw a slight correction to 39 095 tons, while the market value rose markedly to $157.8 million, reflecting a shift toward higher-value processed egg products and greater consumer preference for items with sustainability and animal welfare certifications.
