The global modified starch market is estimated to be valued at USD 13.7 billion in 2022. It is projected to reach USD 15.9 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period. Modified starches are derived from native starches through a variety of processing techniques, including physical, enzymatic, wet-and-dry chemical processes, drum drying, and extrusion. These methods alter the characteristics of native starch, enhancing properties like freeze-thaw stability, resistance to acids or alkalis, and shear stability to fulfill diverse industrial needs. These modified starch products serve various functions such as thickening, stabilizing, binding, and emulsification in both food and non-food applications, including the animal feed sector.

Cassava is the fastest growing raw material segment in the global modified starch 

Cassava stands out as a crucial starch crop worldwide, boasting a lengthy tuberous root that serves as a cornerstone ingredient in numerous Latin American and Caribbean dishes. Widely cultivated across Africa and Asia, cassava reigns as the most cost-effective source of starch globally. With forecasts of shortages in corn and wheat, the spotlight inevitably turns to cassava (or tapioca) starch. Tapioca, derived from cassava roots, shares functional properties akin to corn starch, amplifying its appeal.

Modified tapioca starch finds extensive application across various industries including food & beverages, paper, textiles, chemicals, construction, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals. Its neutral taste renders it an ideal addition to both food and feed formulations. In the realm of global modified starch market trends, Asia takes center stage, with cassava starch projected to be a pivotal driver, particularly in China and India where convenience food markets thrive.

Feed market is a relatively untapped and small market in comparison to other non-food applications and the rapidly growing food & beverage market.

Modified starch serves as a crucial component in animal feed, particularly as a milk substitute and energy source, enhancing digestibility and promoting weight gain in livestock. Companies are actively exploring extraction and processing techniques to uncover novel applications for modified starch in feed production. In swine feed, starch stands as the primary carbohydrate source, with potato starch offering growth benefits when substituted for corn in weaning pigs. For ruminants, modified starch serves as a milk alternative for newborn calves, augmenting carbohydrate intake to enhance digestibility and weight gain. While swiftly processed by rumen, excessive consumption may lead to acidosis in cattle, posing potential harm.

Asia Pacific is the largest and fastest growing region in the modified starch market and anticipated to maintain its dominance over the forecast period.

The Asia Pacific region dominates the modified starch market, poised for significant growth due to heightened demand in major economies like China, India, Japan, and across Southeast Asia. Unlike elsewhere, where large corporations largely monopolize starch processing, the Asia Pacific landscape sees a proliferation of small and medium-sized enterprises in this sector. Traditionally, native starch has been the cornerstone of food production in this region, but rapid technological advancements are reshaping industrial practices. Modified starch is now in high demand across diverse industries, with many integrating it into their manufacturing processes and products to meet evolving consumer needs.
