Europe Eggs Market Dynamics:
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
- High Acceptability of Egg as one of the Prominent Nutritional Source among the Buyers
Eggs are considered the most nutritious food owing to their high protein content and minerals present in them. Eggs contains several nutrients such as protein, vitamins (A, D, E, and B12), and minerals (iron, phosphorus, and selenium), all of which are essential for optimal health. In addition, eggs also contain two antioxidants such as, lutein and zeaxanthin, which are beneficial for eye health and can reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. The rising trend of eating healthy and the increasing health-conscious consumers in the region is expected to drive the growth of the Europe eggs market.
Hence, the multiple health benefits associated with the regular consumption of eggs is expected to drive the growth of the market. In addition, the egg is a rich source of protein, vitamins, minerals, calcium, and other beneficial nutrients, which lures a large number of health-conscious consumers towards it and is also likely to drive market growth.
- Increasing Vegan, Vegetarian, and Flexitarian Population
Consumers demand for plant-based and vegan food products has been rising rapidly. The increasing health awareness and environmental benefits of plant-based diets have led consumers to shift towards vegan options. Consumers preferring vegan substitutes and plant-based egg products are likely to drive the demand in Europe eggs market. The increased access to such vegan egg alternatives in the form of powder and liquid has been attracting consumers who are prospecting for the adoption of flexitarian or vegan lifestyles.
The favourable outlook towards veganism in Europe is expected to play a key role in promoting the scope of animal-based alternative product forms such as vegan meat, plant-based milk and plant-based eggs. Therefore, plant-based eggs are expected to gain momentum among consumers who are following a flexitarian diet and adopting a vegan lifestyle.
Opportunity
- Rising Automation and Technologies in Egg Production and Processing
The increasing demand for high-quality poultry products with adequate nutrition content, along with extended shelf life, has paved the way for egg processing companies to opt for automation.
Considerable growth in software technology and computer hardware has led to automation in the manufacturing processes in the food industry. Automation has helped the poultry industry to increase productivity, palatability, quality, and profitability. Thus, automation in the egg processing industry is projected to be a lucrative opportunity to increase the productivity of producing eggs and egg products by minimizing wastage.
Automatic control tools with computer-integrated manufacturing, expert systems, and flexible manufacturing systems help improve the quality of the final products, which is expected to create opportunities in the Europe eggs market.
With the help of poultry processing robotic automation, the risk of contamination in the poultry and processed egg products is reduced due to less human interface. Robots are used in the packaging and handling of products. The recent developments in technology and sophisticated sensors have reduced processing costs, improved efficiency, reduced occupational injuries, and improved the quality of egg products. Thus, developments in automation in the egg production and processing industry through robotics and artificial intelligence tools are expected to create opportunities for the growth of the Europe eggs market.
Restraint/Challenge
- Risk of Disease Transfer and Rising Allergies from Animal-Based Eggs
Eggs from animal sources attract various kinds of diseases or allergies in spite of various health benefits. If the animal from which the egg is sourced is affected with a disease or allergy, there are high chances of transmission of that disease or allergy to the person consuming that egg or its product.
Salmonella Interitidis is mostly caused by zoonotic salmonellosis and is associated with poultry and eggs. Moreover, fresh eggs with intact shells may be contaminated with S. Enteritidis, and such eggs can be potentially hazardous if consumed raw or undercooked. Some of the food standard agencies have surveyed some of the egg products which are contaminated.
Moreover, the rising egg allergies among individuals also restrain the growth of the Europe eggs market. Egg allergy occurs when the body's immune system gets sensitized to proteins in egg whites or yolks and it results in allergenic response. An estimated 0.5 to 2.5% of young children are allergic to eggs, with symptoms ranging from moderate rash to anaphylaxis. This life-threatening condition impairs breathing and can send the body into shock. According to the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA), there are eight major food allergens, and egg is one of them.
Such contamination related to animal eggs is expected to pave the way for consumers to opt for alternative sources of protein other than animal eggs. Therefore, buyers could prefer plant-based food products as allergy-free alternatives to conventional egg product forms, which have a limited presence of contaminated ingredients.
