Egg packaging is a type of material designed specifically for the safe storage and transportation of eggs. Some of the most common egg packaging options include egg basked, filler, tray and egg carton. Clean and odorless rice husks, wheat chaff, or chopped straws are shaped into firm walled basket or crates to make egg baskets. The filler trays are then placed in boxes or cases that can also hold cartons. In recent times, changes in consumer diet habits and lifestyles have been driving the global consumption of calorie and protein rich foods.
As of 2020, the Global Egg Packaging Market was valued at U.S$ 4,923.8 Million and is expected to reach U.S$ 7,671.8 Million by 2028 and exhibit a CAGR of 7.3% during the year (2021-2028)
