Market Overview

Egg replacement ingredients are food products that resemble the functional properties of eggs, i.e., binding, emulsifying, foaming, coagulation, and structure, in foods and processed foods. They replace whole eggs, egg whites, or egg yolks in various uses in various industries, e.g., bakery, confectionery, sauces, dressings, meat and savory, and ready meals. Food manufacturers, especially those producing bakery, confectionery, savory food, and sauce products, are increasingly using egg replacers to satisfy functional needs as well as consumer demands. In addition, the performance of quick-service restaurants and ready meals has raised the acceptability of such substitutes. Promotion by regulation towards plant-based innovation alongside higher penetration of specialist products in the mainstream supermarket sector have bolstered market opportunities. But problems such as having exact functional equivalence to eggs and being affordable remain. Demand for egg substitutes is on the rise because of the rising trend in vegan and veggie regimes, egg allergy, and cholesterol and animal welfare issues. They are especially beneficial in times of deranged egg supply or high price, which makes them a cheap substitute.

Driving Factor 

The U.S. egg replacement ingredient market is driven by growing demand for plant and vegan diets, expansion of the clean-label and allergen-free food market, and fears of egg price volatility and avian influenza-related supply shocks. Growing consumer demand for sustainability, health, and ethics also promotes egg replacers in baked goods, confectionery, and processed meat.

Restraining Factor

The difficulty of duplicating the exact taste, texture, and nutritional value of actual eggs can influence customer acceptability. Egg replacers may even become expensive to manufacture and produce, which is a drawback towards large-scale adaptation. Suboptimal performance in some recipes and competition from normal eggs still pose important obstacles.
