Kewpie Corporation

Kewpie channels yolks into mayonnaise, whites into food ingredients and shells into uses such as soil conditioners. Processed egg products also address customers’ preparation and texture requirements. In FY2025, food-service egg sales reached ¥115.8bn and business profit ¥6.2bn: sales rose 14%, while profit fell 18%. Creating more uses for a raw material and absorbing an increase in its price are separate tasks. Following both the egg’s destinations and the movement of prices, volumes and costs reveals the operating work behind a familiar condiment.
