The wheat starch market was valued at US$ 1,016.95 million in 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 1,203.32 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% during the forecast period.
Wheat starch has superior gelling, stabilizing, and thickening properties. When used in food, wheat starch helps impart the desired texture and viscosity, along with enabling gel formulation, binding, and moisture retention. It is mainly employed as a thickening agent in the food industry. Wheat starch thickens the food through retrogradation and gelatinization. The heat causes the starch to absorb water and swell while increasing the clarity and viscosity. However, once it reaches the maximum viscosity level, the molecules move apart, leading to reduced viscosity. Further, when the product begins to cool again the viscosity increases, thus making the solution cloudy which leads to the formation of the gel. This is one of the reasons why the food and beverage manufactures prefer using wheat starch in food products. The use of heat starch is also increasing in baking these days. The modified wheat starch confers superior emulsifying properties in certain food products. It also finds application in confectioneries such as Turkish delight. It is also effective in improving the head retention in beer. It is also used in the making of sausages and meat rolls. Wheat starch is a major component of pasta and represents about 70% of its weight. Compared to other starch types, wheat starch increases the volume and tenderness of cakes and also helps in fat absorption in doughnuts. Wheat starch is commonly used in sweeteners such as glucose syrup, maltodextrin, and dextrose. It is employed as a stabilizer in sauces and puddings.
Asia Pacific is expected to hold the significant share of the global wheat starch market during the forecast period. Several domestic and international companies have a strong foothold in this region. Rise in middle-class population and growth in urbanization in countries in APAC offer several opportunities for the key wheat starch market players. The easy availability of raw materials (wheat) is instrumental in bolstering the market growth in APAC. China dominated the Asia Pacific wheat starch market in 2019 and is projected to lead the market over the forecast period. The dominance of China is mainly attributed to mounting spending by companies on the development of innovative wheat starch products and the presence of a well-established food and beverages sector in the country
The COVID-19 outbreak was first reported in Wuhan (China) in December 2019, and since then, it has spread at a fast pace across the globe. As of December 2020, the US, India, Brazil, Russia, France, the UK, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico are among the worst-affected countries by this pandemic. According to the WHO, as of December there are ~80,773,033 COVID-19 affirmed cases and 1,783,619 death cases worldwide. The COVID-19 has been affecting economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. Food and beverages is one the world’s major industries suffering serious disruptions such as supply chain breaks, technology events cancellations, and office shutdowns. China is the global manufacturing hub and largest raw material supplier for various industries. The lockdown of various plants and factories in China is affecting the global supply chains and negatively impacting the manufacturing, delivery schedules, and material sales. Various companies have already announced possible delays in product deliveries and slump in future sales of their products. In addition to this, the global travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia, and North America are affecting the business collaborations and partnerships opportunities.

Market Insights
Potential Applications of Wheat Starch in Pharmaceutical Formulations Drive Market Growth
Researchers and pharmacists across the world are taking efforts to discover the potential of modified starch in pharmaceutical formulations to leverage the improved functionalities and applicability of this starch. The studies are focused on basic requirements of pharmaceutical excipients and starch modification methods such as chemical, biotechnological, and physical methods. Starch derived from wheat, maize, rice and others are colorless, odorless, and insoluble in alcohol and water. In pharmaceuticals production, starch acts as an important excipient that is versatile and cheap. The native wheat starch is being well explored as a binder and disintegrant in solid dosage forms. The starch is being modified to enhance its physicochemical properties such as texture, stability, and viscosity to have a good flow ability and compressibility in pharmaceutical applications. Thus, the modified starch is now being preferred as directly compressible excipients in the pharmaceuticals industry, which is propelling the wheat starch market growth.
Type Insights
On the basis of type, the wheat starch market is segmented into native wheat starch and modified wheat starch. In 2019, the native wheat starch segment dominated the market. The physical extraction of wheat starch separates gluten and other proteins. Native wheat starch is also a plant-based component used in foods derived from wheat. It is a white to off-white powder with a neutral smell and taste. It has an energy value of 4 kcal/g, i.e., similar to all other carbohydrates. Native wheat starch is used as a thickening, stabilizing, clouding, and glazing agent; moreover, it can also be used for binding and moisture retention. It is used in sugar confectioneries, bakery products, snacks, dairy products (such as cheese), alcoholic beverages, sauces and soups, pasta, ready meals, and meat and seafood (such as surimi).
