Not in shell eggs and egg yolks market in South-eastern Asia

Earlier Report Observations

The market for not in shell eggs and egg yolks in South-eastern Asia grew steadily from 31,516 tonnes in 2018 to 40,244 tonnes in 2022. A key surge occurred in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated demand for shelf-stable protein ingredients like pasteurized liquid eggs and powdered albumin, as the baking, confectionery, and institutional catering sectors sought cost and labor rationalization.

The market volume contracted slightly to 39,095 tonnes in 2023, a period marked by a significant expansion of regional export capacity. Malaysia's exports of these egg products grew by 32%, while major companies like Kewpie Corporation expanded egg yolk powder production to meet Asian demand. This shift toward external markets, coupled with rising domestic demand for premium and convenient options such as salted egg yolks, drove the market's value to a high of 157.8 million US dollars in 2023.
