The growing demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) and convenience foods is expected to drive the growth of the egg processing market in the coming years. Ready-to-eat and convenience foods are shelf-stable products designed for consumer ease and time savings. Consumption of RTE foods has increased as convenience and speed have become key priorities for consumers. Egg processing is used to produce specialty egg products that are sold directly to consumers or to restaurants as convenience foods. For example, in April 2024, according to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, a Canada-based government agency, sales of ready meals - a type of RTE food - reached $3.19 billion (Can$4.4 billion) in 2023, while the total value of ready meals increased from $6.36 billion (Can$8,773.6 million) in 2022 to $6.63 billion (Can$9,147.9 million) in 2023. Therefore, rising demand for ready-to-eat and convenience foods is supporting the expansion of the egg processing market.

Key players in the egg processing market are concentrating on developing innovative products like the Vision Weighing System to maintain their market position. The Vision Weighing System employs a camera and AI technology to minimize the need for contact with additional machinery and reduce labor requirements. For instance, in June 2023, Moba, a Netherlands-based manufacturer of egg grading, packing, and processing machines, launched the Vision Weighing System, which utilizes AI to identify visual traits unique to each egg and associate them with specific crack levels and weights. This AI system has been trained using an extensive dataset comprising thousands of egg images and their corresponding weights, allowing it to store the data it gathers and continuously enhance its detection accuracy. This innovative product offers multiple advantages to egg producers throughout the production process.
