Analyst Opinion

This trend is driven by cultural preferences for fresh and natural food, as well as concerns over the use of antibiotics and hormones in conventional egg production. Additionally, there is a rise in demand for cage-free and free-range eggs, as consumers become more aware of animal welfare and ethical farming practices. This shift towards healthier and more sustainable options is expected to continue in the Eggs Market of the Dairy Products & Eggs Market within The Food market.

Additionally, the rise of e-commerce in Nepal has made it easier for consumers to access a wider variety of eggs, including imported options, further driving the growth of the Eggs Market.

Local special circumstances:
In Nepal, the Dairy Products & Eggs Market is heavily influenced by the country's geography and cultural practices. The landlocked nature of Nepal poses logistical challenges for the transportation of eggs, resulting in higher prices compared to neighboring countries. Additionally, eggs are an essential part of the traditional Nepali diet, making it a staple in most households. This cultural preference for eggs has also led to the emergence of small-scale egg producers, contributing to the fragmented nature of the market. Furthermore, the government's regulations on egg imports and production have a significant impact on the market dynamics, creating opportunities for local players to dominate the market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:

Nepal's economy has been steadily growing, with a focus on promoting a favorable business environment and attracting foreign investments.

Furthermore, favorable government policies and investments in the agriculture sector have boosted the production and supply of eggs in the country. However, challenges such as high production costs, limited access to technology, and inadequate infrastructure continue to hinder the growth of the Eggs Market in Nepal.
