Highlights at a glance
The egg market is experiencing weaker prices due to increasing supply pressure from newly laying hens, while e-commerce demand has cooled off post-promotions. The average egg price in major producing regions has dropped to CNY 4.09 per jin, with prices steady in some areas but declining in others. On the supply side, laying rates are recovering with seasonal temperature changes, and market supply remains ample. On the demand side, buyers' restocking willingness is sluggish post-Double-11 promotions, and terminal demand is weak. As a result, the market faces stronger supply than demand with cautious trader activity and no upward price momentum. Egg prices are expected to stay range-bound with minor regional adjustments.
Eggs: E-commerce Exits, the Market Turns Cool
Egg Market Analysis
Today, egg quotes in major producing regions weakened. The average price of red-shell eggs was CNY 4.08 per jin, and that of pink-shell eggs CNY 4.17 per jin; the red-pink price gap was 0.09. The average price in major producing regions was CNY 4.09 per jin, down 0.05 from the previous trading day. Newly laying hens continue to increase, gradually accumulating supply-side pressure; the price support from earlier e-commerce promotions has largely faded, and no new positive demand-side driver has taken over, so the supply-demand balance is gradually turning loose. The short-term decline has nevertheless slowed somewhat, and local sales have improved slightly; today's egg market is mixed, with prices steady in some areas and falling in others.

All prices are in CNY per jin.
Egg Market Outlook
On the supply side, laying rates recover seasonally as temperatures fall, and newly laying hens keep increasing; culling sentiment among farmers varies, and overall market supply is ample.
On the demand side, the pre-Double-11 stocking rally has ended, the e-commerce pull has clearly weakened, and restocking willingness among supermarkets and food-service buyers is sluggish; terminal demand is unlikely to grow, trading sentiment is thin, and regional sales differ markedly.
Overall, the market clearly features stronger supply than weak demand; inventories at each stage are digesting slowly, traders are cautious in restocking, and egg prices lack upward momentum. Prices may remain weak and range-bound in the short term, with small local adjustments according to sales pace.
