The egg is one of the most nutritious natural products. Eggs are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. The Indian poultry industry has made remarkable progress and has increased into an organized and highly productive industry. The dried egg powder can be stored and transported at room temperatures. It is stable and also has a long shelf life. Due to all these benefits, there is a lot of scope for an egg powder manufacturing plant, with a suitable capacity. The whole egg powder is consumed in hotels, hospitals, restaurants, and military establishments, etc.

Reasons of Why Egg Powder Is In Demand
- The transportation of eggs is not easy as there are chances of breakage during transportation and it is costly as well. Egg powder is comparatively easier to transport and there is no fear of any breakage during the transit. Egg powder is one of the most common products in the poultry industry in the country. The powdered eggs are fully dehydrated. They are made up of spray dryers in the same way that powdered milk is made. It is used in the preparation of fast food, ice-creams, cakes, cookies, noodles, doughnuts, etc. Also, it can replace the use of fresh eggs in these fast food items.
- Changing food habits have also increased egg and egg products consumption in India which has led to an increase in the domestic market for both. This is anticipated to further increase in the coming period as the egg is the cheapest source of protein for the masses and its consumption has become common. The growing number of nuclear families in India, majorly in urban and semi-urban areas, and a growing number of working women in the country have increased demand for egg powder.
- India is the world’s third-largest producer of eggs, currently exports table eggs, egg white powder, and egg yolks powder to about 30 countries. The Indian egg powder is comparatively cheaper than the product made in other countries. In India, there are 5 egg powder manufacturing plants the country with a total capacity of 15000 tons per annum.
