In 2023, overseas purchases of chicken eggs decreased by -0.1% to 59K tons for the first time since 2019, thus ending a three-year rising trend.

Canada's Chicken Egg Production industry has grown over the five years to 2024, buoyed by the agricultural sector's supply management system. Since eggs are a staple for most Canadians, egg consumption has grown in line with the size of the domestic population. Demand for new specialty egg products with enriched qualities has also risen, bolstering industry demand. Consumers have increasingly purchased products perceived as being ethically raised, such as cage-free or free-range eggs, which garner a price premium for industry goods. Despite the pandemic's impact, industry performance did not change significantly, as downstream demand for eggs remained relatively unchanged. Overall, industry revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% to $1.9 billion over the five years to 2024, including growth of 1.6% in 2024 alone. Supply chain and weather disruptions drastically affected profitability, dropping by 6.0% between 2019 and 2024. Canadian farming has become increasingly capital-intensive, and egg producers have incorporated more technology to ensure the greatest yield for their investments. This has led to an intensification of the industry, in which smaller farms are bought and merged with larger farms to achieve economies of scale. Larger farms generate more revenue and are better financially situated to afford the constant technological upgrades necessary for survival. Yet, although the number of farms has grown slowly over the past five years, Canada's unique supply management system has helped preserve some smaller operators that would have otherwise been forced out of business. Operators can expect more modest growth over the five years to 2028. Year-on-year egg sales are expected to rise steadily as the economy fully moves beyond the pandemic. Furthermore, as per capita disposable income increases, consumers will likely buy more processed and specialty egg products at home and in restaurants. Meanwhile, research has demonstrated the nutritional benefits of egg consumption, which has been a boon to chicken egg producers. Industry revenue is projected to increase an annualized 1.5% to $2.0 billion over the five years to 2029.
