Which Factors are Aiding UAE Liquid Eggs Market Expansion?

“Market Benefiting from Changing Lifestyle & Buying Patterns of Customers”

Rapid urbanization and changing living patterns are driving demand for liquid eggs, not only in the UAE but across the world. Liquid eggs are a convenient and better substitute for shelled eggs.

Growing health concerns among consumers are also provoking them to opt for better alternatives as compared to shelled eggs. Moreover, there is a risk of contamination in shelled eggs, which is mitigated by the manufacturers of liquid egg products, making them an ideal choice for consumers over other products.

Various factors influencing the buying patterns of consumers include the easy availability of products, safety, hygiene, changing lifestyles, price range, improved functionality of products, etc. These factors influence consumers to opt for liquid egg products.

New-age consumers are showing interest in knowing the origin of food ingredients, the manufacturing process of the company, and the quality of the ingredients used. Increased use of chemicals in production and awareness regarding health problems associated with contaminated foods have led consumers to demand transparency.

The advancement and availability of technology have enabled consumers to trace the journey of food products, from sourcing to consumption, and ensure the safety and quality of the products. Many companies supplying liquid eggs are attracting consumers with a transparent and traceable supply chain based on their preferences.

• For instance, EggStation sources its raw materials from audited and traceable sites, which enables it to share the complete information, from raw materials to finished products, with its customers.

“Rising Demand for Cage-free Liquid Eggs”

Cage-free liquid egg products are the same in nutritional terms as traditional liquid egg products. However, consumer awareness about animal welfare and its implications on food safety is increasing, which is driving demand for cage-free liquid eggs.

Eggs produced in traditional ways involve chickens raised in cages with little very room to move. Due to poor cleanliness levels, the traditional method of husbandry has been a cause for worry in the eggs business.

Contrarily, cage-free eggs allow hens to have roaming, dusting, and perching areas, which contribute to the overall health of the hens. Moreover, most cage-free produced eggs are certified by various regulatory bodies.

“Convenience and Ease of Use Driving Sales of Liquid Eggs”

Rising demand for liquid eggs can be mainly attributed to the convenience offered by them over shelled eggs. Liquid eggs are considered safer as they reduce the risk of contamination and are processed hygienically. They also come in user-friendly packaging, making transportation and handling simple.

Due to their user-friendly nature and tetra packaging, liquid eggs also mitigate the problem of spoilage and breaking that are associated with shelled eggs. Liquid eggs are also preferred over shelled eggs because of the functionality of their usage. They can be directly used in food processes without any hassle of breaking the eggs and then using them.

Some of the crucial elements that guarantee market expansion for the egg liquid industry include operational flexibility, annual availability, and longer shelf life.

Many key players like Egg Solutions, Cargill Inc., and others are continuously innovating convenient, easy-to-store, and easy-to-pour packaging with extended shelf life.

How is UAE Market Growth of Liquid Eggs Being Restricted?

“Growing Vegan Trend – Hurdle for Market Growth”

Liquid eggs are one of the healthiest and most nutritious foods consumed in various countries around the world. Nonetheless, widespread adoption of vegan diets has resulted in a drop in the use of egg-based goods.

Vegan food items are becoming increasingly popular in industrialized nations, which is negatively influencing the demand growth for liquid eggs. Even though sustainable farming procedures for liquid eggs are becoming more common, consumers' strong dedication to plant-based diets is restricting liquid egg sales to some extent.

Furthermore, some of the most well-known key players in the market have been attempting to develop egg-free alternatives. Plant-based protein is being used by manufacturers to create egg substitutes. Pea protein is a significant component in the development of plant-based egg substitutes.

GCC countries have unfavorable climatic conditions and limited water resources and arable land, which makes production activities difficult. Due to this, the region primarily depends on the import of food products. Thus, the liquid eggs sold in these regions come at high prices due to processing costs and very limited resources.

A majority of the GCC land also lacks freshwater supply, which limits production facilities and business growth in the region. Because of production limitations and rising food demand, the UAE’s reliance on imports is likely to persist.

• According to Alpen Capital, over 85% of the food requirement in the GCC region is met through imports, exposing the region to global price fluctuations and causing inflationary pressure due to supply chain disruptions.
