Sales Analysis of Frozen Eggs from 2016 to 2020 Vs Market Outlook for 2021 to 2031

In parallel to the ever-evolving landscape of the food & beverage businesses, consumers are also exhibiting changes for their proclivity towards frozen products. In the foreseeable future, a large consumer base is anticipated to be drawn towards less perishable egg-based products rather than fresh eggs.

Improper storage options may factor in the declining demand for freshly egg products. Moreover, frozen egg products providing nutritional value and taste equivalent to freshly egg goods will also contribute to this change in consumer preference.

Top egg producers are showing high interest in frozen eggs, considering how these products can incur significant value addition between the farm gate and retail stores. Frozen processing of eggs and other egg-based products such as frozen whole eggs, frozen egg whites, and frozen egg yolks holds the potential to translate larger profit shares for these producers.

Longer shelf life of frozen egg products effectively lowers the impact of issues related to the transport of egg products to sales channels. As a result, changes in transport schedules and delayed delivery to sales outlets cannot impede the quality of frozen egg products.

Furthermore, low perishability continues to be a key characteristic of frozen egg products, which helps them gain popularity as shelf-stable foods available in retail chains.

The global frozen egg market is predicted to increase steadily at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2021 to 2031 as compared to a CAGR of 5.4% from 2016 and 2020, according to Fact.MR.

Why is Demand for Frozen Eggs in Institutional Food Service on the Rise?

Frozen egg products are witnessing considerable uptake across catering businesses. Private cafeterias in organizations such as schools, hospitals, and commercial businesses are witnessing how frozen egg products can replace daily meals.

Rising preference of consumers towards foods with low preparation time and quick serving has limited the need for fresh egg items in institutional food services. Concurrently, demand for frozen egg products in institutional food services has inflated, particularly among working professionals who predominantly demand for frozen eggs, particularly frozen egg whites.

Will Premium Frozen Eggs Gain Traction in the Global Market?

Fast-paced consumer lifestyle is creating the need for more convenience in the kitchen, which is driving demand for frozen eggs around the world. In the meantime, people are becoming increasingly concerned about their health and food consumption habits.

Manufacturers are introducing frozen foods with increasingly higher food quality to meet consumer demand for healthy and convenient cooking techniques. Premium frozen eggs promise improved food quality, increased nutrition, and also improved flavor, taste and color.

Although premium frozen eggs are more expensive than traditional eggs, increase in consumer purchasing power worldwide is predicted to lead to significant rise in demand for premium frozen eggs during the projection period.

How Will Introduction of Plant-based Eggs Shape Market Expansion?

Because of the growing vegan population, global demand for plant-based food products has increased.

• In 2020, JUST, a food tech business based in the San Francisco Bay Area, was the first big manufacturers to bring a ready-made 'folded' vegan egg to the market. These frozen eggs are built with the same mung-bean protein basis that the company uses in its renowned liquid vegan eggs.

Demand is estimated to remain stable due to wide range of application of frozen eggs in bakeries & confectionery, driving growth of the global market.

Following the pandemic, this will work to improve normalcy to the U.S. frozen egg distribution channel.

The North America frozen egg market is expected to be worth US$ 818.3 Mn in 2021. Because of the country’s flourishing food service business, which sees a significant amount of frozen egg sales, the U.S. market has a high share of 75.2% in the region.

What are the Key Trends Driving Sales of Frozen Eggs in China?

The market in China is expected to rise at a 9.1% CAGR during the projected period due to the country's growing middle-class population. In 2020, total middle-income households accounted for more than half of the population, making it an appealing niche for frozen egg companies in China.

Furthermore, diet and fitness centers promote the intake of nutritious food, dietary supplements, and other health products, which influence consumers to choose frozen egg products in China.

Is India Estimated to become Top Exporter of Processed Egg Products?

Despite difficulties in the domestic frozen egg space, India is a prominent producer and exporter of processed egg products, including frozen eggs. Manufacturers make up for low regional sales by exporting excess frozen eggs to the United Kingdom, United States, and various European Countries.

According to Fact MR, sales of frozen eggs in India are estimated to hold a market share of 31.2% in 2021, positioning the country as one of the top producers of frozen egg products.

The Indian poultry business is one of the leading industries with huge potential for expansion. However, due to limited demand for processed and ready-to-eat egg products, the country's processed egg sector remains immature.

Sales of frozen egg products currently confronts various problems, including rising taxes on processed egg products, limited number of cold storage facilities, and competitive feed costs. However, application of frozen eggs in ice creams and frozen desserts is gaining traction in India owing to increasing demand for frozen eggs from ice cream and frozen dessert manufacturers.

Consumer desire for high-protein branded foods is growing as a result of a variety of causes, including increased awareness of mindful living, necessity of healthy eating, and rising illness prevalence. Protein-rich diets aid in the maintenance of good health.

According to Fact MR, sales of frozen eggs in the U.K. are anticipated to rise at 5.2% CAGR, making it one of the top producers of processed egg products.
