Driver: Rising demand for convenience and processed food
Convenience foods are a part of daily diets for consumers in most developed countries. Convenience foods require extensive processing and preparation, which is facilitated by the use of technological innovations in preservation, packaging, freezing, and artificial flavorings & ingredients, among others. Based on their annual consumption rates, it is evident that convenience foods are popular in North American and European countries. Globalization and the resultant changing lifestyles have also led to an increase in the consumption of convenience food in other countries around the world, especially in the booming markets of Asia, subsequently leading to an increased demand for modified starch.
Restraint: Growth of alternative solutions such as gum arabic
The application of starch derivatives is growing in the food & beverages sector. The global beverages sector is witnessing growth as an application of modified starches. However, the growth and preference of gum Arabic over modified starch act as a restraint for the growth of this market. Studies have shown that beverages stabilized with sources of gum arabic attain better stability than those with modified starches. Apart from beverages, gum arabic is also rising as a threat to modified starches in confectionery, where it is utilized to prevent sugar crystallization.
Opportunity: Emerging alternative sources for modified starch
The US ethanol policy and the growing demand for wheat as a raw material for biofuel generation in European countries have indirectly posed problems for the modified starch market. The availability of corn, primarily exported by the US, and wheat, Europe’s prime starch commodity, is expected to decrease owing to the ethanol policies in these regions. This, coupled with the increasing demand for modified starch in various industry sectors, necessitates the need to tap other sources of starch. Cassava is one such source that has already been addressed. Although it has been extensively introduced into the industry, its full potential is yet to be tapped. Similarly, rice, yam, and tubers, which are abundantly available in Asia, Africa, South America, and Oceania, need to be researched. Bean starch is an example of an untapped source for food applications, which needs focus and presents an opportunity for innovation in the modified starch industry. Modified bean starch may improve the quality of fresh, gluten-free bread. It has been known to boost its elasticity, potentially offering better texture in the final loaf. Such findings could lead to enhanced products for the already blossoming gluten-free food market.
Challenge: Stringent regulatory approval requirements
The Asian markets are the most lenient in their regulations regarding health claims that may be used for modified starch. The US market, however, has stricter regulations, and there are no health claims for food additives; however, structure or function claims are permitted. European markets have the strictest regulations regarding health claims for modified starch. Manufacturers and distributors face challenges in production & distribution due to these strict laws & regulations.

MARKET SEGMENTS
Source: Secondary Research, Interviews with Experts, MarketsandMarkets Analysis
Modified Starch Market, by Type
Physically modified starch is gaining strong market traction due to its instant solubility and ease of use in food and industrial applications. Unlike native starches, it is processed through heat and drying to rupture the granules, allowing it to dissolve in cold water without requiring further cooking, making it ideal for instant foods, ready-to-mix beverages, and pharmaceutical tablets.
Modified Starch Market, by Source
Corn starch dominates the modified starch market because of its abundant availability, low production cost, strong global supply chain, and versatility across food and industrial applications. Its consistent quality, high starch yield, and well-established processing technologies make it the preferred base for most modified starch formulations.
Modified Starch Market, by Form
The dry segment is estimated to dominate the modified starch market. The powder or dry segment is the most widely used, as it can be easily incorporated into various kinds of products, such as food, beverages, cosmetics, beauty, and personal care. Modified starch in the powder form is easy to store for a longer period, as starch is more stable in its dry form and easy to transport, as it does not require specialized equipment. Also, manufacturers find it easy to handle.
Modified Starch Market, by Application
The modified starch market, by application, is projected to dominate the food & beverages segment. The segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The dominance of this application can be attributed to the growing significance of varied functionality and continued usage of starch in a diverse range of food & beverage applications. Modified starch, by providing livestock with the essential nutrients, improves their digestion and overall health.
REGION
Asia Pacific to be fastest-growing region in global modified starch market during the forecast period
The Asia Pacific modified starch market is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This dominance is attributed to factors such as the region’s large-scale production and consumption of modified starch in food and beverages and various industrial applications. Asian countries, especially China, have emerged as leading destinations, thereby facilitating the market shift from developed economies to developing economies. In relatively saturated markets such as the US and Europe, value-based pricing and raw material sourcing have emerged as major strategies for companies looking to establish a strong foothold in these markets.

Market Definition
Modified starches are derived from native starches through various processing techniques, including physical, enzymatic, wet and dry chemical treatments, drum drying, and extrusion. These methods alter the properties of native starch such as freeze–thaw stability, resistance to acids or alkalis, and tolerance to shear to create products that meet diverse industrial and functional requirements. Modified starches serve multiple purposes, including thickening, stabilizing, binding, and emulsifying. In addition to their widespread use in food products, they are also utilized across numerous non-food industries and in the animal feed sector due to their enhanced performance characteristics.
