(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Key developments include Roquette Frères launching new tapioca-based starches and Ingredion introducing a non-GMO corn starch. Native starches, driven by gluten-free trends, dominate the market, with cassava being the fastest-growing source. North America leads due to extensive raw material resources. Sustainability and the growth of the food & beverage industry are pivotal market drivers.Dublin, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Industrial Starch Market - Focused Insights 2025-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Industrial Starch Market was valued at USD 94.88 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 130.25 billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 5.42%. The global industrial starch market is set to grow due to the growth of the food & beverage industry and expansion of the pharmaceutical sector.
In 2024, North America dominated with the largest share of over 40% in the global industrial starch market. North America dominates a huge portion of the global industrial starch market with its huge production capacity, robust industry demand, and starch modification technology advancements. The region, which is dominated by the United States and Canada, boasts abundant raw material supplies, mostly corn, wheat, and potatoes, which are the primary raw materials used to extract starch.
Growing demand for modified and functional starches in food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, paper & packaging, textiles, and bioplastics is pushing market dynamics. The rising trend of green packaging and bio-based adhesives has also fueled investment and innovation in the direction of starch-based alternatives.
The pharmaceutical sector in North America is one of the major consumers of modified starches as disintegrants, fillers, and binders in tablet formulations. Owing to the growth of the nutraceutical and dietary supplement industry, starch-based excipients will see increasing demand.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
By Product Type : The native starches segment holds the largest market share in 2024. Growing interest in gluten-free and plant-based diets has grown demand for native starches. By Source : The cassava segment shows the highest growth of 6.79%, driven by its high carbohydrate content, tolerance to adverse environmental conditions, and relatively low cost of production. By Application : The food & beverage sector segment accounts for the largest market share, as they are the biggest users of industrial starch owing to the increased demand for processed, convenient, and functional food products. By Geography : North America dominates the global industrial starch market in 2024. North America is one of the largest producers and consumers of industrial starch, with corn being the primary source due to the region's abundant maize cultivation.
MARKET TRENDS
With the growth in the pharmaceutical sector, starch is being favored for its role in excipients, enhancing drug formulations. The trend toward sustainability has industries preferring starch-based biodegradable solutions to combat plastic waste, promoting starch as a significant component in green packaging and bio-based polymers.
Market Drivers
The textile industry's reliance on starch for sizing and dyeing processes is increasing, boosted by booming textile manufacturing in Asia. The food & beverage industry is another robust driver, with starch enhancing the quality and shelf-life of processed foods. The clean-label movement is pushing for natural, less-processed starch applications.
Industry Restraints
Market stability is challenged by fluctuating raw material prices due to climate change and economic tensions, which affect sourcing costs, impacting margins. Agricultural inputs like fertilizers and fuel further influence raw material pricing, posing risks for cost-effective starch production.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
The global industrial starch market report consists of exclusive data on 22 vendors. The market is highly competitive, with a moderate market concentration level and a high level of fragmentation. Large multinational corporations as well as regional players exist together, which makes the competitive environment dynamic and ever-changing.
Global players focus on technological advancements, product differentiation, and supply chain optimization, while regional vendors compete on price efficiency, local raw material sourcing, and niche product offerings.
One of the biggest market challenges is the risk of penetration by poor-quality starch products, especially in price-sensitive markets. Sustainability has become a key differentiator in the industrial starch market. Vendors are increasingly investing in eco-friendly and bio-based starch products to align with environmental regulations and consumer preferences.
