The expansion of the global egg processing market is probably being driven by the growing knowledge of the health benefits of eggs, such as the availability of protein and vitamins. An additional element boosting the growth of the world market for hen's egg processing is the rising demand for eggs from the food industry. In 2012, Americans consumed 254 eggs annually per person, and in 2017, they consumed 279 eggs annually per person, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Additionally, manufactured eggs like dried eggs are just as nutritious as fresh eggs. They include protein as well as immune-stimulating and antibacterial qualities. Since dried eggs contain high-quality proteins, pet food manufacturers most frequently use them. Dried eggs that have been processed are highly mineralized and easily digested. Dried eggs have less volume than fresh eggs compared to fresh eggs, allowing them to fit into smaller packaging. Numerous dried egg products exist, and they can be divided into four groups: dried egg white, dried whole egg and yolk, dried whole egg and yolk mixes with carbohydrates, and specialised variants of dried egg products.
According to Coherent Market Insights, by the end of 2027, the market for Processing Hen's Eggs is expected to generate more than US$ 36.99 billion in sales, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2021 to 2027.
