Market Overview:

The global eggshell membrane market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.08% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use industries. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

Eggshell membrane refers to the bi-layered wall membrane that is found between the egg white and eggshell. The layers, chiefly composed of fibrous proteins, including osteopontin, collagen, and sialoprotein, can be separated from the shell using various chemical, steam, mechanical and vacuum processes. Also rich in glycosaminoglycans and sulfated glycoproteins, the isolated membrane is partially hydrolyzed and further dried to produce a fine powder that is extensively used as a dietary supplement. Apart from this, it is expansively used for diverse applications in biomedical engineering, environmental engineering, and the food and beverages sector.

The global market is primarily driven by the increasing incidences of osteoarthritis among the masses, especially in the geriatric population. Egg membrane derivatives are widely associated with promoting joint health, improving bone density and relieving arthritic pain due to the high levels of proteins and calcium present in them. As a result, these derivatives are extensively utilized as an essential component in the production of numerous pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. Along with this, the eggshell membrane is also widely employed in the healthcare sector for bone grafting and drug-delivery therapy, which is also propelling the market growth. The market is further driven by the rising adoption of eggshell membrane powder to formulate multiple cosmetics and personal care products. This can be accredited to the anti-aging, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties exhibited by the membrane that assist in providing hydration and elasticity to the skin, thereby enhancing the overall skin texture. The escalating utilization of eggshell membrane derivates in the pet food industry to improve joint and skin health and to meet the nutritional requirements of pets is another major growth-inducing factor.
