Global plant-based egg market
The global plant-based egg market was valued at USD 127.936 million in 2021 and is slated to reach USD 791.356 million by 2027, at a CAGR of 26.7% from 2022 to 2027.
Plant-based eggs are an alternative to traditional eggs. They are not derived from hens but from raw plant materials such as algae, legumes, cereals, and others. Plant-based eggs perform similarly to traditional eggs. They are used in place of traditional egg breakfast dishes such as omelettes and scrambled eggs, among others. They can also be used to make homemade baked goods like muffins and cakes. They aid in a variety of processes, such as stabilisation, gelation, and emulsification.
Market Drivers
Novel products that promote growth include plant-based eggs, milk, and meat. These products are high in essential nutrients and taste identical to animal-derived products. Vegetarians can easily consume plant-based egg proteins, which helps them maintain a healthy lifestyle and obtain the desired nutritional values. Veganism is becoming more popular around the world as people become more concerned about the environment and animals. Pigs, hens, cows, and goats contribute to the greenhouse effect on farms through their rearing and social standing. Greenhouse gases are emitted by livestock agriculture, such as cow farming, to prevent atmospheric heat from escaping and raising the overall temperature. The increased demand for animal meat necessitates the practise of animal farming in excess. As a result, an increase in vegan food consumers reduces the demand for excessive animal farming, lowering greenhouse gas emissions in the environment. Demand from millennials and emerging markets is expected to drive revenue growth in the plant-based egg market at a healthy CAGR. Technological advancements that enable effective production, an expanding product portfolio, upscale design and packaging, efficient operational maintenance, and sales monitoring are key growth drivers in the plant-based egg market.
Market Restraints
They are usually more expensive than traditional eggs, so consumers who cannot afford them may be unable to purchase plant-based eggs. Plant-based eggs are also not widely and easily available in many places. This will be a significant barrier to the growth of the plant-based egg market.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic increased global demand for plant-based eggs. COVID-19 is an animal-generated virus that spreads among humans because of eating unhealthy and unsanitary animal meat. The virus's severe impact and widespread outbreak prompted consumers to switch to alternative animal meat and dairy product consumption while maintaining the required nutritional level. As a result, demand for plant-based products increased, supporting the market for plant-based eggs. Furthermore, the rise in veganism during the pandemic, owing to increased consumer awareness of health and the environment, increased demand for plant-based eggs. During the lockdown, the Plant-Based Food Association in the European region saw a 246% increase in plant-based meat and dairy consumption as more people adopted a vegan diet. Similar trends have been observed in other regions.
Recent Developments
Nestlé will launch plant-based egg and shrimp substitutes, as well as expand its plant-based food line, in 2021. Thanks to plant-based eggs, people now have a delicious, healthy option that is ethically and sustainably produced. Plant-based products containing omega-3 fatty acids and soy protein were released in Europe under the Garden Gourmet veggie brand and received a Nutri-Score.
Evo Foods and Ginkgo Bio Works will collaborate in 2022 to market egg products without the use of animals. With this collaboration, the companies hope to introduce vegan protein options that complement consumer tastes in response to the growing consumer demand for vegan food options.
