The modified starch market was valued for $9.0 billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach $14.4 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.9% from 2023 to 2032.
Modified starch refers to a chemically or physically altered form of starch that possesses modified properties compared to native or unmodified starch. Starch is a complex carbohydrate found in various plant sources, such as corn, wheat, tapioca, and potato. It is composed of glucose units and is commonly used in the food and beverage, animal feed, textile, and other industries due to its thickening, stabilizing, gelling, and binding properties.
The modification of starch involves making changes to its molecular structure or properties to enhance its functionality for specific applications. This process can be achieved through various methods, including physical, enzymatic, or chemical treatments.
Modified starches find applications beyond the food and beverage industry. They are used in industries such as paper & packaging, textiles, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and animal feed. For instance, in the paper industry, modified starches improve the strength, smoothness, and printability of paper products. In textiles, they are used as sizing agents and thickeners. The wide range of applications and versatility of modified starches make them valuable ingredients in these industries, driving their demand.
Furthermore, a surge in consumer demand for clean and natural food products has been witnessed. Consumers are increasingly conscious about the ingredients used in their food and are inclined toward products with minimal or no artificial additives. Modified starches provide an opportunity for manufacturers to meet these clean label trends. They can be used as natural alternatives to artificial additives and emulsifiers, ensuring the label claims of natural or organic products. The clean label trend has led to increased utilization of modified starches in a wide range of food products.
However, modified starches face competition from alternative ingredients and additives that offer similar functionalities. For example, gums, hydrocolloids, and other stabilizers can provide comparable texture and stability properties in certain applications. The availability and effectiveness of these alternatives can impact the demand for modified starches, especially in specific industries or product formulations.
On the contrary, emerging economies, such as China, India, Brazil, and Southeast Asian countries, offer significant growth opportunities for the modified starch market. These regions have large population, have increased disposable incomes, and a shift in dietary patterns. As a result, there is a surge in demand for processed and convenience foods, which drives the need for modified starches. Moreover, the industrial sectors in these economies, including textiles, paper & packaging, and pharmaceuticals, provide opportunities for the utilization of modified starches in non-food applications.
The modified starch market is segmented on the basis of raw material, type, function, application, and region. On the basis of raw material, the market is categorized into maize, cassava, potato, wheat, and others. On the basis of type, it is divided into cationic starch, etherified starch, esterified starch, resistant starch, and pre-gelatinized. On the basis of function, it is classified into thickeners, stabilizers, binders, emulsifiers, and others. By application, the market is segregated into food & beverages, animal feed, paper-making, weaving textiles, pharmaceuticals, and others. Region-wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Executive Summary
According to this report, the modified starch market was valued at $9 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $14.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2023 to 2032.Modified starch undergoes chemical, physical, or enzymatic modifications to alter its properties and enhance its functionality for specific applications. Starch, a complex carbohydrate, is naturally derived from plant sources such as corn, wheat, potato, tapioca, or rice.
The modification of starch involves various processes that can change its molecular structure, size, solubility, viscosity, gelatinization properties, or other characteristics. These modifications are typically done to overcome limitations of native starch and to meet the specific requirements of different industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and paper manufacturing.
The food and beverage industry has experienced significant growth due to factors such as change in consumer preferences, increase in urbanization, and rise in disposable incomes. Modified starch is widely used in the food and beverage industry as stabilizer, thickener, emulsifier, and texture enhancer. It improves the overall quality and sensory attributes of food products, leading to increased demand for these ingredients.
Moreover, modified starch finds applications beyond the food and beverage industry. It is used in industries such as paper & packaging, textiles, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and animal feed. For instance, in the paper industry, modified starch improves the strength, smoothness, and printability of paper products. In textiles, t is used as sizing agents and thickeners. The wide range of applications and versatility of modified starch makes them valuable ingredients in these industries, driving its demand.
Moreover, modified starches can enhance feed efficiency by providing a highly digestible and readily available source of energy to animals. They are easily broken down and absorbed in the digestive system, leading to efficient utilization of nutrients and improved animal performance. This factor may act as one of the key drivers responsible for the growth of the modified starch market. Moreover, modified starch acts as a binder in pelleted animal feed, improving pellet quality and durability.
This allows easier handling, transportation, and storage of the feed, reducing feed wastage and ensuring consistent nutrient delivery to animals. In addition, modified starch can enhance the palatability of animal feed, making it more appealing to animals. It improves the taste, aroma, and texture of the feed, encouraging animals to consume it willingly. This is especially important for young animals or those transitioning to new diets. These factors altogether may surge the demand for modified starch in the growing food & beverages sector; thus, fueling the market growth.
However, Modified starches are generally more expensive than native starches due to the additional processing and modification steps involved. The higher cost can be a restraint for manufacturers, especially those operating in price-sensitive markets or dealing with tight profit margins. The cost factor may limit the adoption of modified starches, particularly in price-sensitive applications or regions with budget-conscious consumers.
On the contrary, a continuous need for product innovation and differentiation in the food and beverage industry has been witnessed. Modified starches offer manufacturers the ability to develop new and unique products with improved functionalities, textures, and stability. By leveraging the diverse properties of modified starches, manufacturers can create differentiated products that cater to specific consumer demands, such as gluten-free, organic, or low-fat options. Innovations in modified starch formulations and applications can drive market growth and capture consumer attention.
