Growth Factors in the Egg Packaging Market Industry:
Increasing Consumption of Egg
The rising egg consumption worldwide is one of the key drivers for the growth of the egg packaging market. Eggs are a convenient and economical source of high-quality protein, making them a dietary staple. 261 million cases of eggs were produced in the United States in 2022. Of which, over half were sold as shell eggs through retail channels. More than one-fourth of the eggs produced were converted into products for food service, manufacturing, retail, and export markets. This growing demand is triggering the need for packaging solutions that will guarantee the safe transportation of eggs from one place to another. The egg packaging market forecast indicates continued growth, driven by the increasing consumption of eggs and the rising need for effective and sustainable packaging solutions to meet the demands of global transportation and distribution.
Growing Demand for Convenience Foods
The growing demand for convenience foods has been contributing significantly to the demand for egg packaging. Busy lifestyles with busy schedules and reduced time to cook meals have motivated the majority of consumers to seek convenient, easy, ready-to-eat (RTE) or quick-to-cook food items. According to this trend, the market for convenience foods will reach US$ 782.7 billion by 2032 at a compound annual growth rate of 5.47%. Eggs are particularly suitable to this category due to their ease of preparation and versatility. Eggs have also been found to be a source of protein. They are also packed with heart-healthy unsaturated fats and are a rich source of essential nutrients, such as vitamin B6, B12, and vitamin D. This has spurred the development of a range of egg convenience foods, such as pre-cooked eggs, egg salads, and egg snacks, all requiring special packaging for maintaining quality and freshness.
Expansion of Retail Chains and E-commerce Platforms
The mass upscaling of retail chains and online channels is having a positive impact on the size of the egg packaging market. The development of supermarkets, hypermarkets, and online food stores has expanded the availability and accessibility of eggs to more consumers. The Indian retail industry has a robust size of the market, ranking fourth globally and contributing over 10% to the GDP of India. The sector was valued at an astounding INR 91,891 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a rate of more than 13% CAGR till 2027. In addition, the e-commerce segment is projected to be worth US$ 350 billion in 2030. It expanded 21.5% in 2022 at a value of US$ 74.8 billion. The trip has increased demand for effective retail and online-store packaging solutions so that eggs stay safe and fresh during long supply chains and at-home deliveries.
Key Trends in the Egg Packaging Market:
Shift Towards Eco-Friendly Materials
The egg packaging market report indicates a shift towards eco-friendly materials, such as molded paper and biodegradable plastics to meet sustainability requirements. The need for efficient and safe egg packaging solutions is growing due to population growth, urbanization, and the increasing awareness of eggs' nutritional value. Moreover, rapid innovations in sustainable materials, smart packaging, and automation, as well as regulatory requirements for food safety and quality, are boosting the expansion of this market. The egg packaging market trends showcase that balancing the need for durable packaging with environmental sustainability has been posing severe challenges for many manufacturers. However, opportunities rise as several market players, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), form strategic mergers and partnerships for consolidation and expansion.
Integration of Smart Packaging Technologies
The increase in demand for pre-cooked and ready-to-eat (RTE) eggs, as well as the use of smart technologies like quick response (QR) codes for traceability and transparency in packaging, is increasing the appeal of this industry. Asia Pacific is dominating this market owing to rapid population growth, urbanization, rising incomes, and the expansion of modern retail infrastructures. Other regions are also seeing growth due to increased egg consumption and the adoption of advanced packaging solutions.
Focus on Food Safety and Quality Standards
Regulatory requirements for food safety and quality are driving manufacturers to adopt advanced packaging solutions that ensure product integrity throughout the supply chain. The expanding poultry industry, along with the rising utilization of effective packaging solutions for safe storage and transportation of eggs, is primarily driving the global egg packaging market. The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the increasing sales of eggs across e-commerce platforms, thereby augmenting the demand for egg packaging materials for safe and convenient delivery.
