What is Egg White Powder?

Egg white powder is a dehydrated source of protein that contains proteins from chicken egg white. Egg white powder is produced by breaking down a fresh egg, removing the egg white, filtering it to remove any contamination, pasteurizing the egg white to kill any bacterial contaminants, and drying the liquid egg white to form a fine-powdered, free-flowing product. Protein content in egg white powder ranges between 80% to 90%, contains little fat, and is moisture free, making it less susceptible to spoiling and allowing it to have a longer storage time than liquid egg whites. Some of the industries that utilise egg white powder include bakery, confectionery, sports nutrition supplements, protein bars, processed meats, pharmaceuticals and clinical nutrition.

Key Characteristics of Egg White Powder:

• Excellent thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer
• Superior corrosion resistance in water and atmospheric conditions
• Malleable and ductile, allowing easy bending and forming without cracking
• Lightweight compared to steel piping systems
• Recyclable without loss of material properties

Egg White Powder Market Outlook & Investment Overview

The global egg white powder market is experiencing a steady growth trend supported by factors like increased demand for protein-rich foods, sports nutrition, ready-to-eat products, and high-performance bakery ingredients. For example, California-based food tech startup EVERY Company, which uses precision-fermented egg proteins, received $55 million in Series D funding in November 2025 for scaling up production, setting the foundation for the $270 billion egg industry investment, which is supporting increased manufacturing capacity, a push toward profitability, and broader market penetration. Moreover, the funding enhances the company’s commitment to making its precision-fermented protein products readily available through the retail channels across the U.S. The current round of financing might boost the egg white powder market by making it populated with the alternative, precision-fermented proteins that act as functional substitutes for traditional egg white powder. Food manufacturers are increasingly turning to these sustainable, high-performing proteins as a reliable source for bakery, confectionery, and ready-to-eat (RTE) products because the volatility in the egg supply chain is rising.

Along with this, the growing functional food and nutraceutical sectors, especially in Asia-Pacific and North America, continues to fuel market demand. For example, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the global nutraceutical sector worth around US$ 400 billion brings together innovations from the food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries. As nutraceutical brands increasingly seek clean-label, high-quality protein sources with superior amino acid profiles, egg white powder is becoming a preferred ingredient for supplements, functional foods, and sports nutrition products. Its strong digestibility, versatility, and natural formulation make it ideal for meeting the rising demand for protein-enriched health products, thereby accelerating market adoption and expanding global consumption.

Also, the market is benefiting from a rising consumer shift toward clean, high-quality protein ingredients used in foods, beverages, and nutritional products. As manufacturers introduce advanced, high-performance formulations, the industry is experiencing strong momentum across global markets. For instance, in November 2025, Ceva Animal Health joined the International Egg Foundation’s Partnership Programme, strengthening its global commitment to animal welfare and community nutrition. Through this collaboration, Ceva will provide technical expertise to IEF-supported initiatives in Uganda and Ethiopia, helping families build sustainable small-scale poultry systems. The partnership aligns with Ceva’s ongoing efforts to enhance biosafety, farmer training, and community resilience, reinforcing the vital role of eggs in improving health and livelihoods worldwide. As innovation accelerates and manufacturers broaden their specialized product ranges, the egg white powder industry is poised for continued growth, supported by rising applications across nutrition, bakery, and food processing sectors.
