Functional and Nutrient-Enriched Eggs Market Size, Share 2031

Report Code : CVMI270520257 | Published Date : May 27, 2025

The Functional and Nutrient-Enriched Eggs Market is expanding rapidly as consumers seek more from their everyday food choices—demanding eggs that provide additional health benefits beyond basic nutrition. These enhanced eggs are fortified with Omega-3s, Vitamin D, antioxidants, selenium, lutein, and even probiotics. In 2024, the global market is valued at USD 5.6 billion and is projected to reach USD 9.4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.6%. This growth is driven by rising health awareness, aging populations, and an increasing demand for clean-label, functional protein sources.
