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.

What is the U.S Market Outlook for Frozen Egg Products?

According to Fact MR, the U.S frozen egg market is estimated to progress at 4.3% CAGR during 2021-2031. In 2019, nearly 29% of all eggs produced in the U.S. were processed into various egg products such as frozen eggs, refrigerated eggs, dried eggs, and liquid egg products.

After December 2020, sales of frozen eggs in the U.S. gained traction. Retailers reported an increase in demand for processed products, which is likely related to increased awareness of the health benefits of egg consumption.

The 2020-2025 version of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans emphasized the significance of unprocessed and processed egg products as a protein-rich dietary source for infants, breastfeeding mothers, and people of all ages. 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.

With increased health concerns such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity, consumers have become increasingly concerned about their well-being. All age groups, from children to the elderly, are focusing on regularly eating healthy bakery products.

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.

How is Consumers’ Changing Lifestyle Shaping the U.K Frozen Egg Market?

Consumers' changing lifestyles in the United Kingdom, which are attributed to growing knowledge about health and wellbeing, as well as awareness about the harmful impact of synthetic substances, is driving the need for fortified food products.

Food fortification is the addition of vitamins, proteins, vitamins, and other micronutrients to everyday foods, basically giving the products a "high-protein" label. 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.

Why are There Increased Imports of Processed Eggs in Germany?

According to Fact MR, demand for frozen eggs in Germany is estimated to reach a value of US$ 275.4 Mn by 2031 owing to emerging manufacturers’ concentration and increased imports in the country.

Frozen egg whites contain around 67% of the proteins found in eggs. The proteins present in frozen egg whites contain all nine amino acids, which are necessary for the proper functioning of the human body. As frozen egg whites have high-quality protein and are low in calories, consumption of frozen egg white is increasing faster as compared to frozen egg yolks.
