Summary

Egg packaging is a type of material designed specifically for the safe storage and transportation of eggs. Some of the most common egg packaging options include egg basket, filler tray, and egg carton. Clean and odorless rice husks, wheat chaff, or chopped straws are shaped into firm walled baskets or crates to make egg baskets. The filler trays are then placed in boxes or cases that can also hold egg cartons. In recent times, changes in consumer diet habits and lifestyles have been driving the global consumption of calorie- and protein-rich foods. The global demand for high-quality protein is creating a huge potential market for eggs. Eggs and egg products are a staple in many households and restaurants, which is driving the demand for eggs, and in turn, encouraging the development of egg packaging products for safe transportation. In 2016, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), egg production in the U.S. had increased by 5% since 2015. Increasing egg consumption is thus driving the demand for egg production and packaging to meet the global demand.

The global egg packaging market was valued at US$ 4,923.8 Mn in 2020. It is expected to reach US$ 7,671.8 Mn by 2028 and exhibit a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period (2021-2028).

Global Egg Packaging Market - Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The COVID-19 outbreak was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business closures, the outbreak has affected economies and industries in a number of countries. The food & beverage industry is one of the world's most important industries which has been hit hard by supply chain failures, technology event cancellations, and office closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, China is the world's manufacturing hub and the greatest producer of raw materials for a variety of industries, and it is one of the worst-affected nations. The closure of various Chinese plants and factories has hampered the global supply chains, disrupting manufacturing, delivery schedules, and product sales. Several companies have already stated that there may be delays in product deliveries and a drop in future sales. Furthermore, global travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia, and North America are impeding opportunities for business collaborations and partnerships.
