Starch Derivatives Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Type (Modified Starch, Glucose Syrup, Hydrolysates, Maltodextrin, Cyclodextrin and Other Products), Source, Form, Functionality, Application, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Starch Derivatives Market is accounted for $59.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $85.9 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. Starch derivatives are modified forms of starch, crafted for specific applications in various industries. These alterations enhance properties like viscosity, stability, or texture. Common derivatives include maltodextrin, used as a thickener or filler in food products, and cyclodextrins, employed in pharmaceuticals for drug delivery. Hydroxypropyl starches find utility in cosmetics as emulsifiers, while pregelatinized starches act as binders in pharmaceutical tablets. The modification processes may involve chemical or enzymatic treatments, ensuring the derivatives meet desired performance criteria.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand in the food and beverage industry

Starch derivatives act as thickeners, gelling agents, emulsifiers, and film forming additives in various food products. This allows food manufacturers to achieve desired textures, improve stability, and extend shelf life, all factors that are increasingly important to consumers and hence the growing popularity of convenient, processed foods creates a demand for ingredients that make these products possible. Starch derivatives are perfect for this purpose, allowing for consistent texture and quality in items like soups, sauces, beverages, and even bakery products propel the market growth.

Restraint:

Limited raw material availability and price fluctuation

When there is a scarcity of raw materials, such as corn or wheat, it can lead to higher production costs and reduced supply of starch derivatives. This, in turn, can result in increased prices for starch derivatives, making them less affordable for consumers and businesses. Price fluctuations add further uncertainty, making it difficult for market participants to plan and manage their operations effectively. These factors can hinder market growth, reduce profitability, and create instability in the starch derivatives industry.

Opportunity:

Growing population and disposable income

As the population expands, there is a higher demand for various consumer goods and food products, which often utilize starch derivatives as ingredients or additives. Additionally, rising disposable income enables consumers to afford a wider range of products, including those containing starch derivatives. This increased demand drives market growth and provides opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers in the starch derivatives industry. Moreover, higher disposable income allows for greater expenditure on processed and convenience foods, which often rely on starch derivatives for texture, stability, and other functional properties.

Threat:

Substitute products

Alternatives such as modified cellulose, gums, and synthetic thickeners offer similar functionalities, potentially eroding market share. This competition intensifies amidst increasing consumer demand for clean label and natural ingredients. Manufacturers face pressure to innovate and differentiate their offerings to remain competitive. Moreover, substitutes may offer perceived advantages such as improved health benefits or sustainability credentials, further challenging the market.

Covid-19 Impact

Supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and logistical challenges hampered production and distribution. Reduced consumer spending and shifts in consumption patterns, including a decline in foodservice demand, affected market dynamics. Moreover, economic uncertainties led to cautious spending and investment decisions, impacting market growth. However, increased demand for packaged and shelf-stable foods mitigated some losses. Remote work and lifestyle changes also influenced product preferences, driving innovation towards health-focused and convenience-oriented offerings.

The modified starch segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The modified starch segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to high demand across industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and paper manufacturing. These include products such as modified corn starch, modified tapioca starch, and modified potato starch, each tailored to specific applications. Their ability to enhance product texture, stability, and shelf-life makes them valuable additives. This increased demand contributes to the growth of the starch derivatives market.

The stabilizing segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The stabilizing segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, as stabilizing agents help maintain the quality and integrity of starch-based products by preventing undesirable changes such as retrogradation, syneresis, and microbial spoilage. For example, in the food industry, stabilizers enable the production of a wide range of products including sauces, dressings, dairy products, baked goods, and confectionery items. This leads to enhanced product consistency, texture, and overall sensory appeal, driving consumer satisfaction and loyalty.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the growth in functional food products, clean label demand, and attaining cost reduction in the production process in Asian-Pacific countries, particularly China, India, and Bangladesh. The factor that has led to a rise in the number of food and beverage processing businesses using modified starch is the paradigm change in consumer preferences toward low-calorie food items. As a result, the market value of starch derivatives in the nation increased. Such reasons made it possible for ingredient makers to create goods that may help food businesses meet the expanding demand.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to region's expanding use of starch derivatives in the food and beverage industries is the main factor driving the market. Additionally, because they are imported from other nations, the price of starch derivatives is anticipated to increase. Parallel to the food industry's quick development, there is a rising demand for modified starches. Modified starches have a huge range of functional advantages for a wide range of foods, including baked goods, beverages, and snacks as well as nutritive foods.
