Egg prices are higher and will continue into 2025

Egg prices in the U.S. have surged, increasing by 8.2% in November 2024. The rise is attributed to higher demand during the holiday season and ongoing supply issues caused by outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). Experts predict these elevated prices will persist into 2025 due to difficulties in rebuilding the egg-laying flock and continuing illness among poultry. The wholesale egg prices saw a drastic increase of nearly 55% in November, which reflects ongoing supply challenges.
