So-called 'eggflation' – a phenomenon that's seen the cost of eggs rise – is soaring, with prices for the breakfast and baking essential scrambling to record highs in recent times. The cost of living issue has become such a hot topic that it was even used as a campaign theme during last year's US presidential election. Factors driving the increases range from bird flu outbreaks to rising production costs, but while some nations are grappling with a full-blown egg affordability crisis, others are getting off relatively lightly.

With this in mind, read on to discover the current price of 12 regular-sized chicken eggs in 30 selected countries, based on data collated by cost of living website Numbeo on 14 May 2025.

All dollar amounts in US dollars.
