Chicken Egg Production in Canada Industry Data and Analysis
Over the past five years, the Canadian chicken egg production industry has weathered a period of steady but modest growth despite facing some of its most serious challenges in decades. Highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks disrupted operations nationwide, with British Columbia’s producers hit especially hard. However, Canada’s supply management system cushioned the blow by coordinating disease response and stabilizing supply, preventing the extreme shortages and price spikes seen in unregulated markets abroad. Stable quota-controlled production and steady domestic demand also supported industry performance, helping maintain consistent output even as feed, fuel and labour costs fluctuated sharply. Revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 3.2% and is expected to reach $1.9 billion in 2025, when revenue will rise by an estimated 0.3%.
