Starch is a complex carbohydrate derived from wheat, corn, potato, tapioca, and rice. It is a great source of energy. Starch is a thickening/gelling agent and stabilizer in a wide range of food and beverages, including bakery and confectionery  products, soups, sauces, frozen desserts, dairy creamers, and ready-to-drink beverages. The demand for convenience food is increasing globally due to consumers' hectic lifestyles and high per capita income. Moreover, paper-based food packaging needs a coating to prevent water or oxygen from penetrating the packaging and spoiling the foodstuff inside. Usually, this protective coating is manufactured from petroleum-based plastic. However, manufacturers are adopting bio-based and eco-friendly raw materials for paper-based food packaging coating with increasing awareness about the negative impact of petroleum-based plastic on the environment. Starch-based packaging characteristics such as biodegradability and affordability are propelling popularity among manufacturers.

In the past few years, the demand for starch in the pulp & paper industry has grown significantly with the scaled-up operations in this industry. The booming e-commerce industry in contributes significantly to the demand for corrugated paperboards. Moreover, a notable shift toward plastic-free packaging to ensure environmental sustainability is propelling the demand for sustainable packaging materials. According to research conducted by Roquette Frères, the consumption of industrial starch in corrugated board manufacturing increased by 6% in 2020 due to the significant rise of the e-commerce sector amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the surging demand for starch in the paper & paperboard industry is bolstering the industrial starch market
