takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 market growth of&nbsp;<strong>3.9% in 2023<\/strong><br>\u2013&nbsp;<strong>4.7% in 2024<\/strong><br>\u2013&nbsp;<strong>4.2% in the first quarter of 2025<\/strong><br>\u2013 around&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac0.26 per egg<\/strong>, making eggs one of the cheapest sources of animal protein<br>\u2013 a similar trend is also being observed elsewhere in Europe<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Three reasons behind the sustained growth of eggs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Price: one of the cheapest sources of protein<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At around&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac0.26 per unit<\/strong>, eggs occupy a distinctive position in household food budgets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Few other sources of animal protein offer a comparable level of affordability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When households are paying closer attention to food spending, that price difference creates a powerful substitution effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers do not necessarily reduce the amount of protein they eat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead,&nbsp;<strong>they change the source of that protein<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Versatility: one product, many uses<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eggs can be used across almost every type of meal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can be included in desserts, added to salads or served hot as the centre of a meal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That versatility creates a genuine economic advantage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A product that can be used in many different dishes helps reduce the risk of food waste and limits the need to buy multiple specialised ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For households seeking to optimise their grocery basket, that flexibility matters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Simplicity: very little preparation required<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eggs require little technical skill, equipment or preparation time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That ease of use is increasingly important as households spend less time cooking and look for products that combine affordability with convenience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The economic trade-off is therefore accessible even to consumers who cook very little.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Keeping hens at home: from substitution to self-production<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the growth of the egg market, another phenomenon is becoming more visible:&nbsp;<strong>more French households are keeping hens at home<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This represents a further step in the search for value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers are no longer simply choosing between two products on a supermarket shelf.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are partially leaving the retail system to produce part of their food themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several motivations can overlap:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 reducing household food costs<br>\u2013 controlling the quality and origin of eggs<br>\u2013 using household food waste<br>\u2013 enjoying the experience of keeping animals at home<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This form of self-production follows a similar logic to trends seen in gardening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The home becomes not only a place of consumption but also&nbsp;<strong>a small-scale place of production<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div

eggs reveal about household food trade-offs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The growth of the egg market illustrates a different response to budget pressure from the behaviour seen in other consumer categories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For durable goods, financial pressure often creates&nbsp;<strong>postponement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers keep their car for longer or delay replacing furniture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For leisure and pleasure spending, pressure tends to create&nbsp;<strong>adjustment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Households choose a closer holiday destination or alter the format of an experience without necessarily abandoning it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food creates a third response:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>substitution.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eating and meeting nutritional needs cannot simply be postponed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, households can shift towards a lower-cost product that performs a similar function.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Type of spending<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Typical household response<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Durable goods<\/td><td>Postpone the purchase<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Leisure and pleasure<\/td><td>Adjust the format<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Food essentials<\/td><td>Substitute towards a lower-cost option<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eggs occupy a particularly strong position in this framework.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They allow households to&nbsp;<strong>reduce expenditure without necessarily reducing protein intake<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That helps explain why the market has continued to grow consistently across several years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49\u00a0<strong><a

<h4>Why has France\u2019s egg market grown for three consecutive years?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      Eggs are among the most affordable sources of animal protein, at around\n      \u20ac0.26 each. They are also versatile and easy to prepare, making them a\n      practical way for households to manage food budgets.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h4>Are eggs really one of the cheapest sources of protein?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      Yes. At around \u20ac0.26 per unit, eggs offer a particularly low-cost source\n      of animal protein compared with many alternatives.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h4>Why are more French households keeping hens?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      Keeping hens can reduce food costs, provide greater control over the\n      origin of eggs and help households reuse food waste. It can also have\n      a recreational dimension.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h4>Is the growth of egg consumption specific to France?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      No. Similar trends have also been observed elsewhere in Europe,\n      although national markets can be influenced by different supply\n      and pricing conditions.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <h4>What does the success of eggs reveal about household food choices?<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      It illustrates substitution. When household budgets come under pressure,\n      consumers may preserve their protein intake while switching towards\n      a cheaper source.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France\u2019s egg market has grown for three consecutive years:&nbsp;<strong>+3.9% in 2023, +4.7% in 2024 and +4.2% in the first quarter of 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three factors help explain the trend:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>price<\/strong>, at around \u20ac0.26 per egg;<br><strong>versatility<\/strong>, because eggs can be used across a wide range of meals;<br>and&nbsp;<strong>simplicity<\/strong>, because they require very little preparation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trend is also accompanied by growing interest in domestic hen keeping, extending the search for savings from substitution towards partial self-production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The egg market therefore illustrates a specific household adjustment strategy:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>durable goods are postponed, leisure spending is reformatted, while essential food needs are met through substitution towards lower-cost products.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/observatoirecetelem.com\/en\/lobservatoire-cetelem-de-la-consommation\/consumption-in-europe-the-quest-for-enjoyment-holds-firm\">Discover the Cetelem Observatory Consumption 2025 study<\/a><\/strong><br>\ud83d\udc49\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/observatoirecetelem.com\/en\/mobility-minute\/global-air-travel-2025-passengers-airline-profitability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read also: global air transport in 2025<\/a><\/strong><br>\ud83d\udc49\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/personal-finance.bnpparibas\/en\/mobility-consumption-minute-may-2025-air-travel-eggs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Back to the May 2025 Mobility &amp; Consumption Minute on BNP Paribas Personal Finance<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France\u2019s egg market has now recorded several consecutive periods of growth:&nbsp;+3.9% in 2023, +4.7% in 2024 and +4.2% in the first quarter of 2025.
