Global Starch Derivatives Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Form (Dry and Liquid), By Application, By Type, By Source (Corn, Arrowroot, Potato, Rice, Wheat, Tapioca and Others), By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2030

Market Report Description

The Global Starch Derivatives Market size is expected to reach $70.1 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 3.7% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 72,833.3 Kilo Tonnes, experiencing a growth of 4.1% (2019-2022).

Tapioca starch is often perceived as a natural and clean-label ingredient. Consumers increasingly seek products with recognizable and minimally processed ingredients; tapioca fits well into this trend. Therefore, the tapioca segment captured $2,782.1 million revenue in the market in 2022. Tapioca starch is naturally gluten-free, making it a popular choice for individuals with gluten sensitivities or those following gluten-free diets. The growing demand for gluten-free products in the food industry has boosted the use of tapioca starch in various applications. These aspects will help in the expansion of the segment. Some of the factors impacting the market are rising adoption across various industries, rising adoption in the pharmaceutical industry, and challenges related to raw material availability and pricing.

Starch derivatives act as effective thickeners and stabilizers in various food products. They contribute to the desired texture, consistency, and stability in soups, sauces, gravies, and dressings. These enhance the texture of bakery products, and confectionery. They contribute to the crispiness of snacks, the softness of baked goods, and the overall mouthfeel of various food items. They serve as excipients in pharmaceutical tablet formulations. They contribute to the tablet's physical structure, aid drug delivery, and facilitate disintegration. Additionally, these act as binding agents in tablet formulations, helping to hold the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) together. This is essential for the formation of cohesive and compressible tablets. These contribute to the disintegration of tablets, allowing them to break down into smaller particles when in contact with liquids. This property is critical for the efficient release and absorption of drugs in the body. They help form tablets with a uniform structure, ensuring consistency in drug content and facilitating ease of manufacturing. These aspects will pose lucrative growth prospects for the market.

However, corn, wheat, and potatoes are agricultural commodities subject to price fluctuations influenced by various factors such as weather conditions, global demand and supply dynamics, geopolitical events, and currency exchange rates.

Form Outlook

Based on form, the market is bifurcated into dry and liquid. In 2022, the liquid segment witnessed a substantial revenue share in the market. Liquid starch derivatives are designed to have improved solubility and stability in aqueous solutions. This is particularly advantageous in applications where rapid dissolution and uniform dispersion are crucial for product quality. Liquid starch derivatives can offer convenience in processing for manufacturers. Therefore, the segment will expand rapidly in the coming years.

Application Outlook

Based on application, the market is segmented into food & beverages, industrial, and feed. The food and beverages segment held the largest revenue share in the market in 2022. The rising global population, urbanization, and changing lifestyles have increased demand for convenient processed food products. These are commonly used in processed foods to improve texture, stability, and shelf life. Consumer preferences are shifting towards clean-label products with natural and recognizable ingredients.
