Egg: "Off-Season Mode" Begins

Egg Market Analysis

Egg Market Prices

Egg Market Outlook

On the supply side, new production capacity continues to be released steadily, while the pace of old hen culling has slowed, and the supply-reducing effect from elimination has weakened significantly. With both factors at play, the overall market supply is ample, and supply pressure is gradually emerging.

On the demand side, holiday stocking has completely concluded, and end-consumer demand has entered a seasonal off-season, with concentrated procurement demand fading. Market sales are notably sluggish, the pace of transactions has slowed, and inventory is gradually accumulating across all stages of the supply chain, increasing the pressure for destocking.

Overall, with ample supply and demand entering the seasonal off-season, the supply-demand relationship is loosening. Egg prices face downward pressure and are likely to trend weakly, with the risk of inventory accumulation requiring close attention.
