Egg Replacers Industry Developments

• February 2023- In January, Just Egg silently hit a breakthrough it had been targeting since it firstly hit the market in 2018: Cost parity with eggs. As per the USDA statistics, a dozen eggs supplied to a warehouse the week ending Jan. 3 was USD5.38. A bottle of pourable Just egg has a usual retail price of USD4.40, said Eat Just's chief revenue officer, Matt Riley. In later January, Riley said that the mung bean-based egg alternative product always had that target in its sights. And while the organization has been bringing its cost to users down as it has scaled up its operations, it wasn't considered to be something that would happen so fast. Lowering in egg availability due to a deadly bird flu outbreak that started last year has caused costs to spike about 60% compared with a year before. Riley said that this is the first time, on a unit basis, that their egg is cheaper than a dozen eggs on the shelf. That's probably not going to last, but it is a crucial point in their journey around pricing. They've always been constrained to offering as close to price parity as the company could, and they've achieved it, at least in the short term. And customers have certainly noticed. Riley said that in the last eight weeks, the company has witnessed a record velocity for Just Egg on a per-store, per-week basis. In 2022, the brand published 17% growth—mostly in the liquid product but also in the brand's frozen folded eggs and sous vide bites.

• April 2023- An egg alternative made of pollock has witnessed expanding success in Japan as consumers cope with a shortage of chicken eggs. A global epidemic of Avian influenza has ensued in a deficiency of eggs as flocks are culled to constraint the spread of the virus. In addition, chicken feed prices have shot up as grain shipments from Ukraine and Russia were interrupted by their war, resulting in higher egg prices.

• November 2021: India's launch of the egg replacement Eggishh was announced by Piperleaf. Premixed versions of the plant-based egg substitute are readily available, giving products a longer shelf life than those created with liquid plant-based eggs. English is now available on the Piperleaf website but will soon be accessible through more Indian e-commerce websites.


• October 2021: With the introduction of a new plant-based egg alternative, Nestlé stated that they would be expanding their range of plant-based meals even further. Thanks to plant-based products, people now have a delicious, nutritious, and ethically and sustainably produced alternative to conventional eggs. The vegan snack comprises soy protein and omega-3 fatty acids, received a Nutri-Score A in Europe, and was first sold under the brand name Garden Gourmet Veggie.
