The global egg processing machine market is expanding steadily, supported by rising demand for processed egg products, automation in food manufacturing, and growing consumption of protein-rich foods. According to the report, the market was valued at USD 866.0 million in 2025 and is projected to grow to USD 897.9 million in 2026. The market is further forecast to reach USD 1,255.10 million by 2034, registering a CAGR of 4.30% during 2026-2034. In 2025, North America dominated the global market with a 36.00% share, making it the leading regional contributor.
Market Overview
Eggs are among the most nutritious food products globally, containing nine essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein. Egg processing involves washing, breaking, separating, filtering, pasteurizing, cooling, drying or freezing, and packaging. Machines designed to perform these operations efficiently are referred to as egg processing machines.
The market growth from USD 866.0 million in 2025 to USD 897.9 million in 2026 reflects steady investment in automation and food safety technologies. By 2034, reaching USD 1,255.10 million, the market will be supported by increasing industrial-scale egg processing across bakery, confectionery, and ready-to-eat food sectors.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the poultry and food processing industries. In 2020, major economies such as the U.S., China, and European countries witnessed plant shutdowns and declining capital investments. According to industry associations, machinery demand dropped sharply during early 2020. However, recovery in food manufacturing activities and renewed demand for processed foods have stabilized the market trajectory from 2025 onward.
Latest Market Trends
Growing Substitution of Shell Eggs with Powdered Eggs
A key trend driving the market is the increasing preference for powdered and dried eggs over fresh shell eggs. Powdered eggs retain functional properties such as emulsification, foaming, and gelling while offering extended shelf life of up to two years. Their pasteurization eliminates harmful bacteria such as salmonella, improving food safety.
This shift toward dried egg products is positively influencing equipment demand, especially spray dryers and pasteurization systems, contributing to steady growth between 2026 (USD 897.9 million) and 2034 (USD 1,255.10 million).
Automation and Robotics Integration
Automation has become essential in modern food processing. Egg processing machines reduce manual labor, increase productivity, and minimize contamination risks. Advanced robotic loaders and high-capacity breakers are increasingly being adopted, particularly in developed markets.
Market Growth Drivers
Rising Demand for Processed Foods
Changing consumer lifestyles and growing preference for ready-to-eat and convenience foods are boosting demand for processed eggs. Bakery, confectionery, and foodservice industries rely heavily on liquid, frozen, and dried egg products, driving equipment investments globally.
Operational Efficiency and Cost Reduction
Automation helps replace large workforces, reducing operational costs while ensuring consistent quality. These efficiency gains are encouraging food manufacturers to upgrade facilities, supporting growth from USD 866.0 million in 2025 to USD 1,255.10 million by 2034.
Restraining Factors
The growing adoption of vegan and plant-based diets poses a restraint to egg consumption. Increased awareness about animal welfare and environmental concerns has reduced egg demand in certain consumer segments. Additionally, high initial investment costs for setting up egg processing plants and availability of low-cost labor in developing countries limit machinery adoption.
