GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and
demand forecasts on the global Starch market. The global
Starch market is projected to reach 182 million metric tons by 2022, driven
by the indispensable use of starch in food processing and expanding use of starch-based
adhesives in industrial products and packaging industries.
Starch is one of the most
widely available carbohydrates in nature. Produced by almost all the higher
plants or vascular plants, starch is stored as energy reserve in tubers, roots,
fruits, seeds, and rhizomes. Starches and starch derivatives have come to play
a major role in a diverse range of applications including food & beverages,
adhesives, papermaking, sweeteners, fuel and textile among others. Led by
significant developments and technology advancements, starch is now established
as a valuable and eco-friendly ingredient in a wide range of applications. Rapid
growth of the food processing industry and increasing demand for starch-based
adhesives in industrial products including packaging are driving growth in the
starch market. Food & beverage industry ranks as the largest end-use
sector, with starch finding extensive use in beverages manufacturing operations
and in the production of food items such as chocolates & confectionery,
dairy products & desserts, processed foods, deep-frozen foods, instant sauces
and soups, and meat & fish products. Apart from the food industry, starch
has also become integral to several day-to-day products such as medicines,
cosmetics, toothpaste, building material, polish, and paper among others. In
particular, starch is finding use as a renewable raw material for use in the
production of packaging materials and biodegradable plastics. With demand for
starch continuing to grow, starch manufacturers are moving beyond traditional
sources of starch such as maize, potato and wheat towards other economical
sources of starch such as cassava
and sweet potato. Manufacturers are especially focusing efforts on developing
‘clean-label’ starch solutions for the food and beverage industry, owing to the
rapidly growing consumer demand for healthy and natural ingredients in food
products.
As stated by the new
