Starch Market Intelligence

Starch Market Description

The global supply of starch has been rising continuously at a CAGR of 4.4 percent and is expected to reach $11.1 billion by 2020. The total starch production is 85 MMT, of which 53 percent goes into sweeteners, 36 percent into native starches, and 11 percent into modified starches. Out of these, corn accounts for 68 percent of the modified starches, and the bulk of sweeteners are used as feedstock. The typical contract period for starch procurement by the food and pharmaceutical industry varies between 3 to 6 months.

North America and Europe are leading the consumers of corn and wheat starch respectively. In addition to this, Indonesia and India are its largest importers. Although the U.S. and China also hold a leading share in the global starch industry, a major portion of the cornstarch has been consumed for domestic utilization. The report also provides a detailed cost and price analysis, along with an analysis of global corn supply and demand. It also explores pricing analysis of corn and cornstarch in regions such as the U.S. and China. The report also provides a detailed supplier profile of cornstarch, followed by market, feedstock, and trade analysis of tapioca starch and wheat starch.

starch-global-market-size

The total starch production is ~85 MMT, of which, 53 percent goes into sweeteners, 36 percent into native starches, and 11 percent into modified starches. Of these, corn accounts for 68 percent of modified starches and the bulk of sweeteners as feedstock. The market for modified starch is projected to reach a value of $ 11.1 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 4.1 percent from 2015
North America is the largest market followed by Asia Pacific, the industry is expected to grow tremendously on account of the expansion of production facilities in the emerging economies such as India and China, coupled with increasing demand for the food, paper, and textile sectors
The robust manufacturing base of the food processing industry coupled with the growing demand in Germany is expected to augment demand in Europe over the forecast period
High demand for modified starch-based products from the convenience and packaged food sector would propel the growth of starches, thereby resulting in the improvement of margins of the food processing industry over the past couple of years
The textile sector in China, Malaysia, and India increases the growing domestic consumption coupled with favorable regulations attract investments and strengthen the market

Corn Starch Supply-Demand Analysis

It is estimated that approximately 64.6 MMT of corn starch was produced in 2017. The potential suppliers are located in the US, China, certain regions of the EU and Asia. The global corn starch market is expected to grow staggering 4.85 percent in the forecast period
Corn starch, used as a thickener or binder, constitutes a minimal percentage of the total corn starch application. Major application of corn starch in the food sector covers a broad spectrum of dairy, confectionery, bakery, meat products and etc.
US and China are the major producers of corn starch, holding about 30 percent and 28 percent of the global share respectively. US-based global companies, such as Cargill, Roquette, and ADM, utilize corn starch to manufacture sorbitol
Therefore, the key regions to focus are the US, China, as well as major producing countries in the EU, and parts of Asia, other than China

Global Demand by Application –Corn Starch

Based on the product type, the global corn starch market is segmented into modified starch, native starch, and sweeteners
Of these, sweeteners are leading the global market with a mammoth share of over 50 percent in the overall market
The burgeoning demand for High Fructose Corn Syrups (HFCS) in a range of food and beverages is anticipated to be pivotal to the rising demand for corn starch-based sweeteners in the near future
China is very significant, with respect to the corn starch market
Therefore, the key regions to focus on for the suppliers are the US, China, as well as major producing countries in the EU, and parts of Asia, other than China
The most dominant region among these is North America, both in terms value and volume
The Asia Pacific corn starch market is expected to expand at the highest CAGR of 6.4 percent over the forecasting horizon
