In culinary, corn starch is extensively used as a thickening agent for gravies, pies, soups, sauces, glazes, desserts, and casseroles among others. It is also used in manufacturing bio-plastics and preparation of corn syrup.
Primarily, corn starch is gluten free in nature and is made from corn and only contains carbohydrate.
The corn starch market is categorized on the basis of product into native starch, modified starch and sweeteners. Among all the segments, sweetener is anticipated to be one of the leading segments in the corn starch market, owing to rising awareness regarding the use of sweeteners in various regions. The sweeteners derived from corn starch are usually cost-efficient.
Use of other source derived starches such as rice starch, potato starch, and tapioca starch among other starches is likely to interfere with growth of the corn starch market during the forecast period. In addition, rising prices of raw material is increasing price of the product subsequently. This, in turn, is hindering the adoption rate of the corn starch in various end-user industry.
Nevertheless, growing trend of substituting petroleum with ethanol is anticipated to be one of the key driving factors for the corn starch market during the forecast period. As per market analyst, the global corn starch market is likely to witness exponential growth in coming years. The growth rate is attributed to growing usage of corn starch in food and beverages industry, processed food, detergent industry, and paper and board industry among others.
