Market overview

The global starch derivatives market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.70% from 2022 to 2030. The market was worth USD 67.8 billion (US) in 2030.

Starch derivatives come from starchy root vegetables. Good examples are the potato and cassava. Many food processing companies use them to thicken various types of foods (like gravies) during the manufacturing process.

Starch derivatives are also excellent emulsifiers and stabilizers for various food products. Many food products wouldn’t taste, look, or digest well if they didn’t have these derivatives added to them. Therefore, they would not be marketable.

COVID-19 turned the world upside down. It forced global quarantines and lockdowns and led to new social distancing and remote working concepts. Many manufacturing industries were hit hard by COVID-19 and the fallout. The food manufacturing industry was one of these. Food manufacturers found starch derivatives harder to find. Their manufacturing costs went up, and they were forced to pass these costs onto consumers in the form of higher prices.

People want to have their cake and eat it, too, because they want to eat delicious foods that last longer and are healthier for them. Food processors need to use starch derivatives to produce these food products. It is the primary growth driver in the global starch derivatives market.

Other critical driving factors are the growing global demand for ready-to-eat meals and lower-calorie, lower-fat foods.

Food manufacturers are expanding their horizons in their quest to find more starch derivatives to meet the growing demand for these products. For example, they are processing the cassava root and tubers. These may belong to the starch family, but they are different species of root vegetables. Therefore, they will have different properties.

It allows food manufacturers to process a broader range of foods to have better taste, appearance, and nutritional value. Some of these uses extend beyond food products. For example, glucose, extracted from starchy root vegetables, has good uses when making bio-plastics.

However, extracting the starch is difficult; it’s an expensive process. Since natural starch derivatives are hard to find, many food manufacturers have been compensating by making starch derivatives.

Starch derivative prices have been skyrocketing recently. Food manufacturers have the unenviable task of keeping manufacturing costs low to keep food prices stable for the end consumer.
