In 2023, shell hen eggs production in Germany stood at around 12.450 billion units. The forecast for 2024 indicates a slight increase to 12.456 billion units, continuing a trend of incremental growth through 2028, with values rising to 12.483 billion units. This reflects a year-on-year growth lower than 1%, indicating a stable market with modest expansion. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) remains steady, suggesting a consistent and gradual increase in production levels.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of consumer preferences shifting towards organic and free-range eggs, potential advancements in poultry farming technologies to increase efficiency, and any policy changes affecting agricultural practices in the EU.
