Eggs are the most common reproductive form of different species. But their high nutritional value in protein, carbohydrates, lipids, calories, and other minerals has always made them suitable for human consumption. 

The processing of eggs varies based on their use. Egg processing includes whole egg or processing of separate albumin and yolk. In addition, the type of processing involves freezing, dehydration, and spray drying to powder. The general steps involved in processing eggs are receiving shelled eggs, quality check, egg breaking, separation, pasteurization, and storage.

Adopting automation and robotics in egg processing equipment has gained significant traction. This trend is driven by the need to improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and enhance product quality. For instance, automated egg grading and packing systems have become increasingly popular, offering high-speed operations and precise sorting capabilities.

Egg Processing Equipment Market Dynamics

Rise in the Global Egg Consumption is Expected to Drive the Market Growth

The Global Egg Processing Equipment Market is mainly driven by significant growth due to the rising demand for global egg consumption. The production volume of eggs worldwide exceeded 86.67 million metric tons in 2020, up from 74.14 million metric tons in 2016. In 2020, the consumption of eggs in the United States was estimated at 286.5 per person. This figure was projected to reach 288.1 eggs per capita by 2022.

An egg is considered the main ingredient in various food products due to its rich protein nature and high nutrient content. An egg provides several health benefits: strong muscles, brain health, energy production, a healthy immune system, lower risk of heart diseases, eye health, weight loss, and maintenance and skin health. In addition, processed eggs have many benefits such as increased shelf life, convenient use, quality stability, and contaminant-free. These benefits motivate food and beverage manufacturers to use processed egg-based products in their formulations, thus driving the egg-processing equipment market.

Increasing Demand for Processed Egg Products is Driving the Egg Processing Equipment Market

The consumption of processed egg products has been on the rise globally. For example, liquid egg consumption has increased steadily over the years due to its convenience and versatility in various food applications. Processed egg products such as powders, dried and frozen eggs are also experiencing increased demand. This growing consumption creates a need for efficient and automated egg-processing equipment. 

Egg-based proteins, such as egg white proteins and egg protein isolates, are gaining traction in the sports nutrition and functional foods markets. These products are used in protein bars, shakes, and dietary supplements due to their high-quality protein content. The growing demand for egg-based proteins contributes to the need for egg-processing equipment that can efficiently process eggs to extract specific components.

Limited Awareness and Adoption in Some Regions are Hindering the Egg Processing Equipment Market Growth

Egg consumption patterns vary across regions due to cultural preferences, dietary habits, and availability of alternative protein sources. In some regions, there may be a stronger preference for fresh eggs over processed egg products. This can result in limited awareness and demand for egg processing equipment, as processors may focus more on traditional egg sales rather than investing in processing capabilities.

Limited awareness and understanding of advanced egg processing technologies can significantly restrain some regions. The lack of educational programs and training opportunities focused on egg processing can limit the knowledge and expertise of industry professionals in these areas. This, in turn, can hinder the adoption of egg processing equipment, as processors may be less aware of its benefits or unsure of how to operate the equipment.

Egg Processing Equipment Market Segment Analysis

The Global Egg Processing Equipment Market is segmented based on machine type, product type, and region.

In the Global Market of Egg Processing Equipment, the Dried Eggs Segment Holds the Largest Market Share

One of the real advantages of dried egg products is their easy way of storage. Even stored at room temperature, which is relatively stable. When packed in containers or pouches, the product consumes much less space than fresh eggs with a reduced weight per volume while having the same quantity of nutrients. Dried eggs are very affordable, too, because they do not take much effort and production time. 

As mentioned earlier, the product is just as safe as raw eggs with outstanding other features, making it perfect to use in different end-use industries related to food service. Developing nations such as Brazil, and India, along with other countries, are shifting to different consumption patterns, from carbohydrate-based food items to protein-based items. This factor can also greatly affect the food market and fuel demand for eggs and egg-based products, driving dried egg imports and exports globally.
