[Research Report] The egg white powder market was valued at US$ 2,110.41 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 3,151.49 million by 2030; it is expected to register a CAGR of 5.3% from 2023 to 2030.

Egg white powder provides good water-binding abilities in processed meat, seafood, bakery, and confectionery for texture improvement and protein fortification. The products can be stored at room temperature and in dry conditions with long shelf life compared to liquid eggs. Owing to its foaming and gelling properties, egg white powder is used as an important food ingredient. Egg white powder, in its reconstituted form, has many applications. Powder eggs have a storage life of up to 5–10 years when stored without oxygen or in a cool storage environment. It is used in food applications where only the egg white is desired.

In 2022, Europe held the largest share of the global egg white powder market, and Asia Pacific is estimated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The Europe egg white powder market is segmented into Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the Rest of Europe. The egg white powder market is projected to grow significantly owing to the presence of prominent players such as GEMPOL SP, Z O. O., OVOBEST Eiprodukte GmbH & Co. KG, EISA-Sachsen GmbH, and Merck KGaA across Europe. These companies serve markets such as animal feed, bakery, beverage, and confectionery and have a wide customer base. They also offer various egg white powders, including high-gel and high-whip. According to the Agra CEASE consulting, the Europe egg production industry has recorded 1,500,000 metric tons of annual egg product production in 2021 and holds approximately a share of 41.7–44.3%. Hence, the presence of prominent key industry participants and the massive processing of egg whites are boosting the egg white powder market growth. However, the risk of contamination associated with the egg white powder and the volatility of prices of raw materials may hamper the egg white powder market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Egg White Powder Market

The COVID-19 pandemic affected economies and industries in various countries across the globe. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the food & beverages industry. The shutdown of manufacturing units disturbed global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and sales of various essential and nonessential products. Various companies announced possible delays in product deliveries and a slump in future sales of their products in 2020. Moreover, the bans imposed by governments of different countries in Europe, Asia, and North America on international travel forced the companies to discontinue their collaboration and partnership plans temporarily. All these factors hampered the food & beverages industry in 2020 and early 2021, which restricted the growth of various markets related to this industry.

Functional Advantages of Egg White Powder to Boost Egg White Powder Market Growth

Egg white powder is extensively used in the food processing industry as a polyfunctional ingredient because of its foaming, thickening, gelling, emulsifying, coloring, and flavoring attributes. These characteristics of egg white powder help modify the organoleptic and technological properties of several food products. Eggs and egg products also provide high-quality protein content. However, egg and liquid egg white used in food products come with several challenges, such as limited shelf life, storage issues, breakage of eggs, and risk of contamination. Thus, the functional advantages of egg white powder help overcome these challenges. Egg white powder is generally well-tolerated and has a lower risk of triggering allergies than other protein sources—such as dairy or soy. Spray-dried egg white powder provides extended shelf-life to the finished product. Powdered egg white powder has a shelf life of 18 months and can be extended to 5–10 years, if sealed properly and stored in a cool and dry place; the powder does not require refrigeration. Compared to liquid eggs, the powder obtained from egg whites requires less storage space and offers the convenience of material handling and transportation. Furthermore, using egg white powder eliminates the risk of breakage and spillage during food processing, along with lowering the risk of contamination and foodborne diseases. It also offers an economic advantage compared to liquid egg white or raw eggs.

In the bakery industry, egg white powder is increasingly used for its foaming and gelling properties. The powdered egg white acts as a foam stabilizer and provides texture to the baked goods. Confectionary producers are considered the only consumers of pan-dried egg white powders, and they use them while preparing aerated confectioneries (such as nougat), owing to their anti-crystallizing properties. Due to its gelling characteristics, this powder is also used in preparing meat and fish products, such as surimi. Moreover, powdered egg white is widely used to prepare a host of dessert items—including chocolate mousse and meringues. Therefore, the functional advantages of egg white powder are fueling the global egg white powder market.

Type-Based Insights

Based on type, the egg white powder market is categorized into high-whip and high-gel. The high-whip egg white powder segment held a larger share of the market in 2022; the high-gel segment is likely to grow at faster rate during the forecast period. High-gel egg white powder is a light-yellow powder with no impurities and a typical egg odor. It has good emulsification, gelling, whipping, and water retention properties. This product adds nutrition, elasticity, taste, and longer shelf life to meat products, minced fish products, and flour-made products. Thus, the demand for meat products, minced fish products, and flour-made products is increasing, which is projected to positively impact the egg white powder market growth.

Application-Based Insights

Based on application, the egg white powder market is segmented into food and beverages, personal care, and others. The food and beverages segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Hen eggs are a major raw material used in baking. Eggs are composed of three main parts—the shell, the white or albumen, and the yolk. Albumen accounts for ~70% of an egg's liquid weight. When egg albumen is treated, there is a foam formation, and its volume is increased by 6–8 times. Egg foams provide volume to cake batters and are essential for making sponge cakes. Egg white powder act as a dough strengthener when used in baked goods. Powdered egg white is widely used as a stabilizer to add texture to baked foods. It is highly utilized in the baking industry due to various properties such as good stable foam formation that can support large quantities of flour or sugar. Egg white powder generates emulsification of fats in the batter, giving the baked products a smooth and creamy texture.

The major players operating in the egg white powder market are Taiyo Kagaku Co Ltd, AgroEgg Pte Ltd, Egg Domain Pty Ltd, Netto Industria De Alimentos Ltda, OVODAN International AS, Ovostar Union NV, Parmovo Srl, Foodchem International Corp, Taj Agro International, and Venky's (India) Ltd. These companies focus on new product launches and geographical expansions to meet the growing consumer demand worldwide and increase their product range in specialty portfolios. They have a widespread global presence, which provides them to serve a large set of customers and subsequently increases their market share.
