Modified Starch Market Trends, Growth & Forecast [Latest]

This study employed two primary approaches to estimate the current size of the modified starch market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the type, application, source, form, and functions (qualitative) segments of the market. The next step involved validating these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. The top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, data triangulation was used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

This research study used extensive secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial market study. In the secondary research process, sources such as annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, pet food journals, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, directories, and databases were referred to identify and collect information. Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the pool of key players, and market classification and segmentation based on the industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from market- and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was conducted after obtaining information regarding the modified starch market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from the demand and supply sides across major countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Rest of the World. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as Chief Experience Officers (CXOs), vice presidents (VPs), directors from business development, marketing, research, and development teams, and related key executives from distributors and key opinion leaders.

Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights, including market statistics, revenue data from products and services, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped to understand the various trends related to type, application, form, and functions (qualitative), and region.

Stakeholders from the demand side, including distributors, importers, exporters, and end-use sectors such as food and dietary supplement manufacturers, were interviewed to understand the buyers’ perspective on suppliers, products, and the outlook for their business, which will impact the overall market.

Note: The three tiers of the companies are defined based on their total revenues in 2023 or 2024, based on the availability of financial data: Tier 1: Revenue > USD 1 billion; Tier 2: USD 100 million ≤ revenue ≤ USD 1 billion; Tier 3: Revenue < USD 100 million. RoW includes Africa and the Middle East.

Data Triangulation

After determining the overall market size from the estimation process explained above, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments. The data triangulation procedure was employed, wherever applicable, to estimate the overall modified starch market and obtain precise statistics for all segments and subsegments. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from the demand and supply sides. The market size was also validated using the top-down and bottom-up approaches.
