Growth Factors in the Egg Packaging 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

• Dominance of Carton Packaging Solutions

Cartons account for the majority of the market share since they are most favored due to their durability, ease of handling, and great protective qualities. Furthermore, these are made from a variety of materials such as molded pulp, plastic, and recycled paper, which offer a balance of durability and environment-friendliness. Moreover, the rising demand for cartons based on their configuration, with individual compartments that minimize breakage by protecting every egg while it is being transported and stored, is positively impacting the egg packaging market value. The versatility of cartons in accommodating different sizes and quantities of eggs makes them the preferred choice across retail and commercial applications.

• Shift Toward Moulded Paper Materials

Moulded paper accounted for the largest market share owing to its eco-friendly attributes, cost-effectiveness, and superior protective qualities. In addition, it is composed of recycled paper and different natural fibers, showcasing the growing consumer appetite for environmentally friendly packaging solutions. Moreover, these cartons offer excellent cushioning and shock absorption, reducing the chances of egg breakage during transport and handling. Moreover, moulded paper packaging is adaptable and can be effortlessly tailored with different shapes, sizes, and branding choices, thereby enhancing the egg packaging market share. This sustainable material aligns with global environmental concerns and regulatory requirements for reduced plastic usage.

• Retail Segment Leadership in Application

Retailing was the largest segment, including eggs distribution via supermarkets, grocery stores, and the Internet. The increasing demand for egg packaging in retailing, due to the increasing need to preserve eggs' integrity and freshness and to provide convenient features like easy handling, understandable labeling, and tamper evidence, is driving the market growth. Additionally, the growth of online shopping for groceries, increasing the demand for strong and secure packaging that can handle the challenges of delivery, is enhancing the egg packaging market revenue.
