In 2023, egg demand in China was slightly below 32.82 million metric tons. The forecast indicates a gradual increase to 33.51 million metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year growth rates from 2024 to 2028 are modest, suggesting a stable demand pattern.
Within this period, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects consistent, if limited, growth. This steady demand underlines China's persistent need for eggs, driven by dietary habits and population dynamics.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in poultry farming, shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative proteins, and regulatory changes affecting production and distribution in China.
