• Ashan – 5.60 UAH
• MegaMarket – 7.50 UAH

Compared to the previous year, on February 1st, 2025, a single egg cost 3.89 UAH. Therefore, over the year (2025-2026), the price of one egg at ATB rose by 1.90 UAH, representing a 48.84% increase. The average cost of an egg carton was approximately 65 UAH in 2025, a figure that climbed to 76.70 UAH in 2026.

The Consumer Price Index for January 2026 stood at 100.99%. This indicates that the overall price level for consumer goods maintained relative stability, despite the specific surge in egg prices. Given this data, consumers might anticipate further price fluctuations for this product in the near future.

The rise in egg prices could stem from several factors, including shifts in supply and demand, as well as production costs. Amidst the inflationary conditions observed in the market, consumers may need to adjust their spending. This increase in egg prices, alongside the general stability of consumer prices, suggests the market may be undergoing certain structural changes affecting basic food items in Ukraine.
