The egg tray market size is forecast to increase by USD 3.3 billion at a CAGR of 4.53% between 2023 and 2028. The global market is witnessing significant growth due to the increased production of eggs, which in turn is driving the demand for egg trays. Additionally, the use of digital printing and aesthetically appealing egg packaging is a notable trend in the market, as it enhances the consumer experience and increases the marketability of eggs. However, the egg industry faces challenges due to health hazards, such as Salmonella contamination, which can lead to foodborne illnesses. To mitigate these risks, stringent regulations and quality control measures are being implemented, ensuring the production and distribution of safe and hygienic eggs. Overall, the market is expected to continue its growth trajectory, driven by these factors and evolving consumer preferences.
The market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing demand for disposable egg trays in poultry farms and businesses. The market is driven by the need for efficient and effective packaging solutions for transporting and storing eggs. Both paper pulp and moulded fiber are popular raw materials used in the production of egg trays. Paper egg trays offer a smooth finish, durability, and good barrier properties, making them an ideal choice for farmers. On the other hand, moulded fiber packaging provides lightweight and recyclable alternatives to plastic trays. The physical and barrier properties of egg trays, such as air permeability and hygroscopic ability, play a crucial role in maintaining the freshness and quality of eggs.
Paper trays made from recycled paper and cardboard are also gaining popularity due to the growing trend towards sustainability and health awareness. Modernization in the poultry industry is further driving the demand for advanced egg trays with improved features. Overall, the market is expected to grow steadily due to the increasing focus on nutritious food and the need for efficient and eco-friendly packaging solutions.

Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Increased production of eggs is the key driver of the market. The global market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing consumption of eggs, expanding population, and rising purchasing power. As income levels rise, there is a growing preference for higher-value food items such as meat, eggs, and milk over plant-based alternatives. Developing countries like India, China, and Japan, with populations of over a billion each, have per capita egg consumption of around 3. The demand for various egg sizes, including small, medium, and large eggs, is increasing, leading to a higher requirement for egg trays in these markets. The global market is poised for substantial growth as a result of these trends.
Use of digital printing and aesthetically appealing packaging is the upcoming trend in the market. In the egg packaging market, the use of Half Dozen and Dozen Cartons continues to gain popularity due to their convenience and practicality. Consumers prefer these cartons for their ability to hold a specific number of eggs, making it easier for them to plan their consumption. The eggs themselves come in various sizes, including Large, Medium, and Small, catering to diverse consumer preferences. Digital printing technology has revolutionized the egg packaging industry, enabling clear and precise labeling. This innovation is essential for inventory management and providing consumers with accurate information about the egg size and other relevant details. Digital printing is cost-effective and offers product customization, making it a preferred choice for companies.
The packaging industry, responsible for one-third of the global printing market, demands excellent printing quality that can withstand various weather conditions and adapt to diverse materials such as plastic and paper. Digital printing ensures that the printed information remains legible and vibrant, enhancing the overall appeal of the egg packaging.
Health hazards in egg industry is a key challenge affecting the market growth. Avian influenza, also known as bird flu, poses a significant challenge to the global egg market due to its impact on egg production. This viral disease primarily affects poultry, and as birds migrate, the risk of its spread increases. Since 2015, over 40 million birds have been affected, with countries such as China, Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam still experiencing outbreaks. When bird flu hits, culling becomes necessary to prevent the rapid spread among chickens kept in confined spaces. Egg production is disrupted, leading to a shortage of Half Dozen Cartons, Dozen Cartons, Large Eggs, Medium Eggs, and Small Eggs in the market.
The egg industry must continually adapt to mitigate the risks and ensure a steady supply of eggs to consumers.
