Strategic Insights
Food Starch Market Growth Drivers- Increasing Market for Processed Foods: Increasing demand of packaged and processed foods worldwide creates demand for food starches which are needed for thickening, gelling and stabilizing sauces, soups, and bake goods.
- Expanding of Confectionery and Bakery Market: Starches are a primary ingredient of confectionery and bakery industries as they modify texture, flavor and quality. Such industries are hence driving the food starch market.
- Rising Demand for Natural and Clean Label Products: People are getting healthier and they also buy food with clean labels. Thus the market is opening up to natural starches (such as those found in potatoes, corn and tapioca) that can replace artificial preservatives in food formulations.
- Consumer Demand for Non-GMO and Organic Starches: Consumers have become more interested in non-GMO and organic starches because they are not comfortable with food safety or environmental impact of genetically engineered crops, so manufacturers concentrate on these types.
- Innovations in Starch Processing Technology: Technological advancements in starch processing technology — for example, the manufacturing of modified starches with new functionalities — are creating new opportunities for food products with specialized textures like low-calorie foods or gluten-free products.
- Starch Replaces Animal Ingredients: As plant-based eating becomes more common, food starches are also substitutes for animal ingredients such as gelatin, paving the way for vegan and vegetarian products like plant-based sweets and dairy substitutes.
- Growing Opportunities in Emerging Markets: Rising middle class and urbanization in developing countries like Asia-Pacific and Latin America is driving increasing consumption of processed foods which in turn opens new markets for the food starch market in these countries.
- Increasing Demand for Gluten-Free and Low-Calorie Foods: There’s a high demand for gluten-free and low-calorie food which opens the door for starch producers to create modified starches for these very needs.
- Sustainability & Biodegradable Packaging: As sustainability is increasingly being emphasized, the food starch market will be able to scale into biodegradable packaging with starch as a replacement for plastic.

Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
