Share :

Modified Starch Market, valued at USD 13.4 Billion in 2023, is projected to surpass USD 19.8 Billion by 2032, indicating a robust CAGR of 4.5%

Modified starch refers to starch that has been altered through physical, chemical, or enzymatic processes to improve its properties for specific applications. Common modifications include changes in viscosity, stability against heat or acid, and texture enhancement. These alterations enable modified starch to serve as thickeners, stabilizers, or emulsifiers in food products, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. This versatile ingredient plays a crucial role in enhancing product consistency, shelf life, and overall quality across various industries, meeting diverse consumer demands for texture, stability, and sensory appeal in finished goods. Regulatory hurdles and differing food safety standards across regions are anticipated to pose challenges for the modified starch market. However, innovations in product formulations aimed at meeting specific dietary and functional requirements have been driving its growth.
