In 2024, the retail price for a dozen eggs in the United States was 4.15 U.S. dollars. Egg prices in the United States peaked in this year. Previously, the highest average price was in 2015, when a dozen eggs cost 2.75 U.S. dollars on average. U.S. egg production The United States was one of the leading producers of eggs in the world in 2021, ranking fourth behind China, India, and Indonesia. In that year, approximately 110.7 billion eggs were produced in the United States. There are two main categories that farm chickens fall into: broiler chickens and laying hens. The first are raised for meat and the second are raised for laying eggs. The U.S. state with the most laying hens is Iowa, with about 40.2 million in 2022. Some of the other top egg producing states include Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. Egg retail in the United States Perhaps because eggs are uniform in taste and appearance and most consumers cannot tell one brand of chicken egg apart from another, private label eggs have the highest sales among fresh egg brands in the United States. Eggland’s Best is the leading name brand of fresh eggs in the United States, with sales of 274.55 million U.S. dollars in 2023. The amount that U.S. consumer units spend on eggs varies from region to region. In 2021, consumers in the Western United States spent an average of about 107 U.S. dollars on eggs over the course of the year. The Midwestern United States had the lowest average expenditure on eggs in that year.

Market Dynamics of Egg and Egg Products Market

Key Drivers for Egg and Egg Products Market

Rising Demand for High-Protein Diets and Health-Conscious Consumer Trends to Boost Market Growth

The increasing awareness of the nutritional value of eggs, particularly their rich protein content, has led to a surge in demand for egg and egg-based products. With health-conscious consumers actively seeking out high-protein diets, eggs are positioned as a natural and versatile choice. Beyond traditional consumption, innovative egg-based products, such as liquid eggs, egg powders, and fortified egg products, cater to consumers who prioritize convenience without compromising nutritional benefits. The rise of fitness and wellness trends, coupled with endorsements from health professionals advocating for eggs as part of a balanced diet, significantly drives market growth. Furthermore, eggs are viewed as a cost-effective protein source compared to other alternatives like meat and seafood, making them appealing to a broad demographic.

Expansion of Processed and Convenience Food Markets to Drive Market Growth

The burgeoning demand for ready-to-eat and processed food products has catalyzed the integration of eggs and egg derivatives into various culinary applications. Egg products like powdered eggs, liquid eggs, and specialized egg blends are increasingly utilized in baked goods, sauces, and confectionery due to their functional properties, such as emulsification, binding, and foaming. This trend aligns with urbanization and busy lifestyles, where consumers seek convenient food options without compromising quality. Additionally, the food service industry, including restaurants, cafes, and catering services, contributes to market expansion by adopting egg products for their consistency, ease of storage, and reduced preparation time.

Restraint Factor for the Egg and Egg Products Market

Fluctuating Costs of Raw Materials Will Limit Market Growth

The egg and egg products market faces a significant challenge due to the fluctuating costs of raw materials, primarily eggs themselves. Factors like feed prices for poultry, climatic conditions, and outbreaks of avian diseases can lead to substantial volatility in egg prices. For instance, avian influenza outbreaks often result in a sharp reduction in poultry populations, causing a supply shortage and increased costs. This volatility makes it difficult for manufacturers and distributors of egg products to maintain stable pricing, which can affect profitability and demand. Additionally, the high costs of organic or free-range eggs, which are increasingly in demand due to consumer preference for sustainable and ethical products, further contribute to cost pressures.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Egg and Egg Products Market

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the egg and egg products market, causing both challenges and opportunities. Initial lockdowns disrupted supply chains, leading to shortages and fluctuating prices as consumer demand surged for staple foods, including eggs. Commercial sectors like hospitality and food service experienced reduced demand, while retail demand soared due to home c...

The demand of eggs has grown in the United States over the last number of years. In 2023, consumption of eggs in the United States was estimated at 281.3 per person. This figure was projected to reach 284.4 eggs per capita by 2024. Per capita consumption is a measure of total egg production, minus exports, divided by the total U.S. population.

Cage-free and organic eggs Although the majority of laying hens in the Unites States are still caged, the production of organic and caged-free hens has increased in recent years. In cage-free production, hens are allowed to move freely outside of their cage, but this time is limited and the environment they are kept in could still be unhealthy and very crowded. In organic production however, hens are provided with free-range outdoor access.

U.S. egg industry There has been steady growth in the number of eggs produced in the United States. Additionally, the total number of laying hens in the United States has also increased in recent years. Iowa was the U.S. state with the most laying hens, with some 40.16 million laying hens as of 2022.

Data were updated on September 11, 2024. ART data are made available as part of the National ART Surveillance System (NASS) that collects success rates, services, profiles and annual summary data from fertility clinics across the U.S. There are four datasets available: ART Services and Profiles, ART Patient and Cycle Characteristics, ART Success Rates, and ART Summary. All four datasets may be linked by “ClinicID.” ClinicID is a unique identifier for each clinic that reported cycles. The Success Rates dataset contains success rates for ART cycles started during the year indicated. Since ART success depends on whether patients are using their own eggs or donor eggs, success rates are included separately for these two groups. Success rates for patients using their own eggs are shown per intended retrieval, per actual retrieval, and per transfer. These success rates are reported as cumulative success rates, which take into account transfers that occur within 1 year after an egg retrieval. Since ART success depends on whether patients are using ART for the first time or had prior ART cycles, users can examine success rates for all “Patients using their own eggs” or for “Patients with no prior ART using their own eggs.” For new patients using ART for the first time, the success rates are also shown after 1, 2, or all intended egg retrievals during the reporting year. In addition, the average number of transfers per intended retrieval and the average number of intended retrievals per live-birth delivery are shown. Success rates for ART cycles that involve the transfer of embryos created from donor eggs or donated embryos are shown and are not cumulative. They are based on donor cycles started in the year indicated that had embryo transfers, regardless of when the donor eggs were retrieved. Success rates in this section are not presented by patient age group because previous data show that an intended parent’s age does not substantially affect success when using donor eggs or donated embryos. The success rates are presented by types of embryos and eggs used in the transfer. This dataset excludes cycles that were considered research—that is, cycles performed to evaluate new procedures.

If you require the data in a more accessible format, please contact julie.rumsey@defra.gsi.gov.uk

Data users: 1. The information in this notice is used by the UK government and the EU as evidence for assessing market conditions and evaluating agricultural policy. The farmgate price of UK eggs are required quarterly under Regulation EC 1165/2008 (Animal Production). 2. Representatives of the egg and poultry industry are also major users of the data. The data on egg production volumes and egg type are the key sector indicators for the British Egg Industry Council (BEIC) as they reflect the size of the national laying flock. The Home Grown Cereals Authority (HGCA), part of the Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board, rely on egg production data as a good indicator of the commercial layer flock and associated feed demand and hence grain usage by the sector. Our statistics are also often heavily referenced in industry publications such as “Poultry World”. Methodology: 3. Defra runs a quarterly survey of registered UK egg packing stations. It is a voluntary sample survey of 27 respondents that collects information on throughput by production type and prices of graded eggs and sales of ungraded eggs. The response rate is typically 100 per cent and the survey accounts for 75 per cent of eggs packed in the UK. The survey figures are raised up to give UK estimates using information on the number of commercial laying hens, average egg yields, average mortality rates, the proportion of UK eggs that go through packing stations. Throughput by egg type for packing stations not surveyed is calculated using data provided by packing stations responding to the survey. The raised figures are published in this statistics notice and the associated datasets. The figures in this notice therefore represent all Class A eggs passed over a grader in the UK, including seconds. The prices obtained on the survey are weighted according to the volume of eggs packed by each packing station to obtained average prices for the UK. From 2012, prices include any bonus payments paid to producers. The Egg Processor survey is a quarterly survey of all registered egg processors. It is a voluntary survey of 13 respondents run by Defra that collects information on the number of eggs bought by egg processors and the quantity of egg products produced. The response rate is typically 100 per cent . These figures come from HM Revenue and Customs, but are validated and adjusted if necessary prior to publication. The Standard Industrial Classification codes used to produce each table are given in the footnotes below the tables. 4. In tables that show numbers of eggs the units used are 'thousand cases'. There are 360 eggs in one case. 5. The data are subject to a variety of validation checks which identify inconsistencies in the data. All data are cleaned prior to publication. 6. The percentage changes shown are calculated using unrounded figures. Thus any percentage changes calculated using the published (rounded) figures may not equate exactly with the changes shown. Revisions policy: 7. Figures in this dataset are provisional and subject to revision. We will provide information about any revisions we make to previously published information in this dataset, and the associated statistics notice. Revisions could occur for various reasons including : a. if we have not received survey data from respondents we make an estimate based on their previous returns. These estimates will be replaced with actual survey data when it is received. b. survey respondents occasionally supply amended figures for previous periods. c. we may also revise the methodology used to raise the survey data to give UK totals. This quarter there are no revisions to previously published throughput figures

Market Dynamics of Preserved Egg Market

Key Drivers of Preserved Egg Market

Increasing Consumer Knowledge of Ethical Sourcing and Sustainable Food Production Globally

The preserved egg market is driven by consumers' growing desire for unusual and exotic culinary items. Technology developments that enhance product quality, wider distribution networks, and rising customer interest in preserved eggs because of their high protein content and low calorie count are some of the causes driving this demand. Rising consumer awareness of the nutritional advantages of preserved eggs, product innovation, and the ease of use of preserved egg products—such as ready-to-eat alternatives and preserved egg-based sauces—are driving market expansion. There is a growing desire in trying out new and unusual foods as consumer tastes change and become more adventurous. Customers seeking novel culinary experiences are drawn to preserved eggs because of their distinctive flavours and textures.

Increasing Curiosity for Trying out New and Unusual Foods to Propel Market Growth

Eggs that have been preserved are sometimes sold as being nutrient-dense. Due to their high protein, vitamin, and mineral content, they may be attractive to customers looking for healthier nutrient sources. Compared to fresh eggs, preserved eggs have a longer shelf life, which makes them a suitable choice for consumers looking to stockpile foods with longer shelf lives. Demand may be influenced by this factor, especially in areas where it may be difficult or unpredictable to obtain fresh eggs. Convenience foods like preserved eggs can become more popular in metropolitan settings where people lead busy lives. Their ease of incorporation into different cuisines and minimum preparation requirements make them a desirable option for consumers looking for convenient and hassle-free meal alternatives.

Restraint Factors Of Preserved Egg Market

Worries about Potential Health Risks

Misconceptions and unfavourable opinions about the flavour, smell, or safety of preserved eggs, especially century eggs, might provide difficulties. Growing the market may be hampered by the need to overcome these prejudices via marketing and education initiatives. Depending on the preservation technique used, preserved eggs—despite being viewed as healthful by some—may include high levels of sodium or other chemicals. Customers who are concerned about their health may be discouraged from buying preserved eggs due to worries about potential health risks such as high cholesterol or excessive sodium consumption. The cost of preserved eggs may be more than that of ordinary eggs, particularly if they are regarded as speciality or gourmet goods. This might prevent them from gaining as much market share, especially with consumers who are price conscious or in areas where the average person has less money.
