Global Modified Starch Market Overview

Modified starches are made by treating native starch with alkalis, acids, and enzymes, which causes physicochemical changes in the basic structure of the starch. This treatment results in improved properties such as thickening and water holding capacity, as well as higher heat resistance. By modifying native starch, it can be used in a variety of industries, including textiles, papermaking, food & beverage, and pharmaceuticals. Because modified starch absorbs water and bulks up, it's a great thickener, textural agent, and fat replacer. Oxidized starches are also used as subsidiary gelatinizing agents in sauces, puddings, ice creams etc. Thus, due to its diverse application in the rapidly growing food industry, its growth has accelerated by leaps and bounds.

Global Modified Starch Market Trend

Growth Drivers

The Growth of the Food Industry

The popularity of convenience food or fast food has skyrocketed, especially among college students and working professionals. This rising popularity has resulted in the widespread use of modified starch in food processing facilities, where it is utilized as a thickener, emulsifier, and fat substitute, among other things. Furthermore, because the working population leads a hectic lifestyle, they rely heavily on convenience foods and prefer ready-to-cook food to home-cooked meals. Modified starch is also used in many convenience food products such as ready mixes & meals, and bakery products, and much more. Thus, the rising demand for convenience food is boosting the demand for modified starch, thereby accelerating its market growth.

The Growth of the Textile and Cosmetic Industry

Modified starch is used in the textile industry for textile sizing. Cotton yarn manufacturing especially requires modified starch. Because the properties of modified starch can be tailored to meet specific requirements and its chemical properties are similar to those of cotton and rayon, modified starch is used as the adhesive component in the size mix process. Thus, modified starch is indispensable in the textile industry. Owing to the rising fashion trends there has been a massive surge in the textile industry, which in turn has increased the demand for modified starch, thereby aiding its market growth.

Consumers nowadays choose products that do not cause bleaching or tanning effects; hence, cosmetic companies that value customer preferences are increasingly using modified starches for manufacturing innovative cosmetic products that are skin-friendly. The use of modified starches in the cosmetics industry is rising exponentially, thereby powering the growth of the global modified starch market.

Restraints

Limited sources

Starch is extracted from a variety of sources, including cassava, wheat, potato, and rice. These are highly limited resources. The availability of these resources is influenced by agricultural and climatic conditions. For instance, cassava production depends highly on climatic conditions. Cassava production is disrupted by unfavorable weather circumstances, resulting in price fluctuations. Additionally, these crops are not just used for manufacturing starch. For example, more than 40% of corn production is used for non-food applications like the production of ethanol, which negatively impacts the food sector. Thus, these factors pose a restraint for the modified starch market.

Impact of Covid-19

The ongoing crisis around COVID-19 has impacted all walks of life. Modified starch is made from crops. COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on the world's leading raw material producers, including India, China, Russia, the United States, and others as these countries had to declare lockdowns to combat the pandemic. Thus, the production of crops has been highly affected due to the dearth of manpower. Manufacturers of modified starch are also experiencing a significant shortage of raw materials as a result of lower agricultural production and limited international trade, which has weakened the supply chain. These factors may leave a short-term impact on the growth of the global modified starch market during the forecast period.

Global Modified Starch Market by Product

Based on products, the modified starch market is divided into starch esters & ethers, resistant, cationic, pre-gelatinized, others. The starch esters & ethers segment holds the largest market share due to its extensive application as a thickener in the food industry. Because of its potential to improve food texture and shelf life, it is widely utilized in bread, dairy, and convenience foods, contributing to its market growth. Cationic starches, on the other hand, are the fastest-growing segment. The unique property of emulsification of sizing agents and dry strength, which has led to its widespread use in the paper sector, is contributing to the growth of the cationic starch segment. These factors, coupled with the superior retention and drainage properties of modified starches, are expected to augment the demand for cationic starches in the paper industry over the coming years.

Global Modified Starch Market by Material

Based on material, the global starch market can be grouped into corn, cassava, wheat, potato, and others. The corn-based modified starch segment is the largest growing segment since corn is one of the most highly and readily available raw materials. Corn-based modified starch is also very versatile and is used in various end-use industries as stabilizers, thickeners, and emulsifiers. Cassava starch, on the other hand, is the fastest-growing segment because of its widespread use in the food, beverage, confectionery, paper, pharmaceuticals, adhesives, and textiles industries. The fast growth of this segment is mainly due to its remarkable characteristics like high paste clarity, freeze-thaw stability, and paste viscosity, which makes it very convenient for the food and textile industry.

Global Modified Starch Market by Function

Based on function, the global modified starch market is divided into stabilizers, thickeners, emulsifiers, binders, and others. The thickeners sector dominates the global modified starch market because of thickeners' ability to increase a liquid's viscosity without affecting its other properties. As a result, it is widely employed in the food and beverage industry, particularly in the preparation of sauces, jellies, puddings, gravies, and soups, with no adverse effect on flavor.

The fastest-growing segment is the emulsifier segment due to the increased usage of fats and oils in the food industry. As the use of palm oil in various food preparations has increased, so has the use of emulsifying agents, resulting in the growth of this segment.

Global Modified Starch Market by End-Use

Based on end-use, the global modified starch market is divided into food & beverage, animal feed, paper making, pharmaceuticals, weaving & textiles, cosmetics, and others. The food & beverage segment holds the largest share owing to the rising demand for convenience food globally. Additionally, modified starch is found in practically every commercially produced food.

On the other hand, the textile industry is the fastest-growing segment. The growth can be attributed to globalization, which has led to a rise in fashion consciousness amongst people. Also, the rise in disposable income has led to the growth of the textile industry, thereby aiding the growth of this segment.

Global Modified Starch Market by Region

Based on region, the global modified starch market is divided into North America, Europe, the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. North America held the largest market share in 2020, owing to rising awareness of low-fat food consumption and the presence of large fast-food joints.

The Asia-Pacific, on the other hand, is catching up as the fastest-growing segment owing to the rising popularity of fast-food chains. With high levels of development in developing economies such as India and China, the Asia Pacific region holds a significant share of global modified starch production. Furthermore, India has one of the largest textile sectors, thus the Asia Pacific textile industry has a positive impact on the global market.
