That's despite Europe having 2x the population of North America.

The EU contains about 30% more people than the USA alone. (450MM vs 340MM)

North America overall contains many more people than the EU. (340 + 129 + 40 for just USA, Mexico, Canada, plus another ~50MM in smaller countries. 560ish total)

		The EU is only around 2/3 of the population of the continent of Europe.

Europe is also somewhat poorer than North America, to be fair.

Is cake mix expensive? Wouldn't powdered milk and egg be cheaper than real eggs? Is it actually more expensive to bake with cake mix than with short shelflife milk and egg?

These companies must be making bank.

		It depends but cake mixes are brand products and so don't enjoy the same kind of competition that fungible raw ingredients do. It depends on how much cake you bake though. For many ingredients you'll need less than the smallest packaging size - and much less than packaging sizes that aren't way overpriced.
