Increasing demand for processed food

Due to fast-paced lifestyles, consumers are increasingly gravitating towards convenience foods, including instant soups, frozen pizzas, savory snacks, breakfast cereals, and other ready-to-eat foods due to their shorter preparation time and ease of handling. Despite the need to rely on instant meals, consumers are unwilling to compromise on flavor, especially among younger consumer groups who are open to exploring various culinary traditions. As a large country that absorbs a wide range of foreign populations, most consumers in the United States are open to trying new foods. Food and beverage companies are offering the most innovative and nutritious flavors to meet the growing demands of consumers. Packaged, processed and restaurant foods account for about 70 percent of all sodium intake in the U.S., according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As high consumption of processed foods may be a key driver of the obesity epidemic, consumers are seeking relatively healthy and low-calorie processed foods. Processed quail egg products are not only convenient and fast, but also rich in various nutrients, so they are being preferred by more and more consumers. Hence, the increasing demand for processed foods is driving the growth of the quail egg industry in the United States.

Own shortcomings

At present, the quail egg market is still a relatively small category. People have been used to the taste of chicken or duck eggs for a long time, and it takes a long time for people to switch to quail eggs. Typically, less common foods tend to be more expensive, with quail eggs costing more than regular eggs. All foods can cause allergic reactions, for example, eggs are one of the most common allergens in children. Specific proteins in quail eggs may contain unique allergens that affect those who adapt to eggs. Also, quails have a shorter lifespan compared to chickens, which live an average of 5-10 years. The average lifespan of quails in the wild is two to three years, and quails in captivity can live five or six years. The short survival time means that the number of quail eggs produced is reduced, and the increased breeding costs will also be transferred to the quail eggs. Therefore, some shortcomings of quail eggs have affected the expansion of market share.
