The demand of eggs has grown in the United States over the last number of years. In 2025, consumption of eggs in the United States was estimated at 259.2Â per person. This figure was projected to reach 273.7Â eggs per capita by 2026. Per capita consumption is a measure of total egg production, minus exports, divided by the total U.S. population.Â
Cage-free and organic eggs
Although the majority of laying hens in the United States are still caged, the production of organic and caged-free hens has increased in recent years. In cage-free production, hens are allowed to move freely outside of their cage, but this time is limited and the environment they are kept in could still be unhealthy and very crowded. In organic production, however, hens are provided with free-range outdoor access.
