The pharmaceutical industry employs corn starch as a disintegrant and binder in tablets, emulsions, and ointments.

In line with this, due to hectic schedules and inflating disposable incomes, there has been a rise in the demand for processed food items that use corn starch as a key ingredient. Moreover, corn starch is rapidly gaining preference amongst health-conscious, vegetarian and vegan consumers as it is gluten-free and can be used as a substitute for eggs in baking and cooking.
