Increasing consumption of processed and convenience food to drive market growth

Convenience foods are a part of daily diets for consumers in most developed countries. Convenience foods require extensive processing and preparation, which is facilitated by the use of technological innovations in preservation, packaging, freezing, artificial flavorings & ingredients, and through the use of microwaves. Based on their annual consumption rates, it is evident that convenience foods are popular in the North American and European countries. Globalization and the resultant changing lifestyles have also led to an increase in the consumption of convenience food in other countries around the world, especially in the booming markets of Asia, subsequently leading to an increased demand for modified starch.

Limited sources and high cost of natural additives to restrain market growth

The production of cassava depends on the climatic conditions. Unfavorable climatic conditions hamper the overall production and ultimately impact the supply chain of cassava. The prices of cassava fluctuate according to the overall production. The prices are also affected due to fall in demand. For instance, according to the Cambodia Daily newspaper, in February 2016, Cassava export prices have fallen to new lows amid the decline in demand from international markets, particularly China.

The corn segment led the market with the largest share in 2017

North America dominated the modified starch market in 2017

The North American market for modified starch is driven by the US market, especially by cornstarch. Being at the center of the bioethanol policy, which has siphoned much of the available corn for ethanol production, the US has influenced the global supply chain of corn for starch extraction and the resultant price trends. The market in Europe is expected to grow at a moderate rate in the near future, owing to the stringent regulations for modified starch and increasing demand for convenience food products. Developing countries such as China, India, Brazil, and Argentina are showing a significant increase in the demand for modified starch.
