Egg Powder Market

Egg powder is the dried product obtained from eggs in the form of powdered texture. Egg is a highly consumed food product and is used as an ingredient due to its rich nutritional profile. Powdered egg is manufactured by drying and complete dehydration of eggs. Egg powder has been used since 1912 for cooking purposes. The modern manufacturing process of commercial egg powder was introduced in the 1930s by Albert Grant and Co. of the Mile End Road, London. Advancements in technology has led to the development of equipment and processing techniques such as spray drying. Commercially, egg powder is manufactured by the use of spray drier to obtain complete dehydrated egg powder. Egg powder is available in variants such as whole egg powder, egg yolk powder, egg albumen powder, and powdered egg mix. Eggs of chicken, duck, and quail are utilized for processing egg powder. Egg powder is widely applicable in culinary, bakery products, confectionery, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care products, and pet food.

COVID-19 Scenario Analysis

• The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the commercial production of egg powder due to the initial shutdown of manufacturing units and shortage of manpower caused in the lockdown scenario.
• The export and import ban implemented in several countries has disrupted the global supply chain of the egg powder market leading to changing market dynamics.
• The egg powder market has initially faced uncertainty due to the domestic transportation restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown scenario. The procurement of eggs from poultry for the utilization in the processing of egg powder and further supply chain of the end product has become challenging. This has affected the sales and revenue of poultry farmers as well as the production of key players in the egg powder market.  
• The shutdown of distribution channels such as supermarket, retail stores, and bakeries has led to decline in sales and revenue of egg powder market.

However, increased competition, traditional beliefs and practices, availability of whole eggs, allergies caused due to egg protein, level of bacterial contamination, the requirement of high automation, high manufacturing cost and infrastructure, reduction in nutrition quality due to drying temperatures, and government restrictions hinder the market growth.

The global egg powder market trends are as follows:

Availability of variants in egg powder

Surge in commercial requirement of dried egg powder has increased rather than the traditional liquid egg due to ease of use.  An egg is a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals therefore its requirement and increasing use have led to the launch of variants in egg powder. Key manufacturers are inclined towards enhancing the nutritional value of egg powder and retaining the maximum amount of nutrients in the products while processing. Additionally, the formulation of powdered egg mix consisting of additives such as vegetable powder, salt, sugar, flour, and customization of egg powder ingredients according to the customer requirement such as bakery mix has increased. The industrial production of egg powder includes cleaning & candling, egg breaking & shell removal, filtration, pasteurization, spray drying, and freeze-drying, grinding, and packaging.

Whole egg powder find application in food products such as fast food preparations, crackers, cookies, noodles, and pasta. Egg albumen powder is used for fish products, meat products, potato preparations, doughnuts, biscuits, marshmallows, and mousse. Egg yolk powder is used for obtaining color, texture, and emulsion capacity mainly in mayonnaise, dressings, sauces, croissants, and others.
