Corn starch refers to the starch derived from the endosperm of the kernel of corn grain. It is a white, powdery substance which is widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, binding and emulsifying agent. It is an almost flavorless starch that mixes well with a variety of food items. It is extensively used in the preparation of soups, sauces, glazes, pies, desserts and gravies. Apart from the food and beverages industry, it is also widely utilized in the healthcare industry for the treatment of glycogen storage disease (GSD).

Market Trends:

The thriving food and beverages industry is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Owing to busy schedules and inflating disposable income levels, consumers are continually making a shift towards comfort and processed food items, which extensively use corn starch in their production. In addition to this, corn starch is gaining rapid preference amongst health-conscious consumers as it is gluten-free in nature. It is also widely preferred by vegans across the globe who often mix it with water to use as a substitute for eggs in cooking and baking. Moreover, it is widely used as an industrial starch in paper manufacturing and the textile industry to provide stiffness to clothes. Apart from this, manufacturers are now utilizing corn starch-derived polymers to manufacture products like polybags, diapers, water bottles, plates, containers, cups, straws and cutlery. Rising environmental concerns have led users to adopt these sustainable products instead of their plastic counterparts. Owing to the aforementioned factors, the corn starch market size is expected to reach 92.4 Million Tons by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of around 4% during 2019-2024.
