Economic hardships led to altered consumer spending patterns, potentially affecting purchasing decisions for premium or specialty products like egg replacers. Regulatory processes and compliance inspections were delayed, impacting the introduction and approval of new egg replacer products. Thus, the reduced number of COVID-19 cases and implementation of subsequent strategies by government and non-government organizations is set to drive the market growth.
