The egg replacers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.26 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for clean-label egg replacers, rising innovation in plant-based ingredient blends, expansion of vegan food consumption, growing focus on functional performance optimization, increasing use in processed and convenience foods. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of plant-based egg alternatives, rising demand for allergen-free baking ingredients, growing use of clean-label functional ingredients, expansion of vegan and specialty food formulations, enhanced focus on texture and binding performance.

The rising prevalence of food allergies is expected to drive the growth of the egg replacers market in the coming years. Food allergies occur when the immune system reacts abnormally to specific proteins in certain foods. Egg replacers provide alternatives for individuals with egg allergies by mimicking the functional properties of eggs in various food products. For example, in May 2024, the Food Standards Agency, a UK-based government department, published the Patterns and Prevalence of Adult Food Allergy (PAFA) report, indicating that approximately 6% of adults in the UK - around 2.4 million people - are affected by food allergies. Common triggers include peanuts and tree nuts such as hazelnuts, walnuts, and almonds. Therefore, the growing number of people with food allergies is supporting the expansion of the egg replacers market.

Key companies in the egg replacers market are focusing on innovative products to gain a competitive edge. For instance, Ardent Mills, a US-based flour-milling and ingredient company, launched Ardent Mills Egg Replace in June 2023. This product is a 1:1 replacement for dried or liquid whole eggs, designed to offer cost efficiency, supply stability, and ease of use. Ardent Mills Egg Replace contains four ingredients and is formulated for optimal taste, functionality, and performance in bakery applications. The product is gluten-free, vegan, and a versatile, cost-effective alternative to traditional eggs.

In November 2024, Tate & Lyle PLC, a UK-based specialty food ingredients company, acquired CP Kelco from J.M. Huber Corporation for approximately US$1.8 billion.

CP Kelco is a US-based producer of nature-derived hydrocolloids widely used in clean-label and egg-replacement applications.
