Egg Replacement with Univar Solutions
In the ever-evolving landscape of the global food industry, a significant transformation is underway, driven by a confluence of factors that challenge traditional practices and ingredients. Among these, eggs—a staple ingredient revered for their multifunctional properties—face a new era of scrutiny and decreasing demand due to health, ethical, and sustainability concerns. As the industry grapples with record food inflation, avian flu outbreaks, and a shift in consumer attitudes, the quest for viable egg substitutes has become more pressing than ever.
Eggs have long been celebrated for their ability to thicken, stabilize, foam, emulsify, and extend the shelf life of a myriad of food products. However, recent challenges, including a sharp decline in the European laying hen population and growing consumer awareness around health and sustainability, have spotlighted the urgent need for alternatives. The egg replacers market, as highlighted in a report by Prophecy Market Insights, is expected to burgeon, with predictions indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% until 2030.
In response to these challenges, manufacturers are seeking replacement ingredient solutions to not only replicate the unique properties of eggs but also to align with the broader consumer trends emphasizing well-being, nutrition, and environmental stewardship.
