Native starch is the pure, raw form of starch procured from various plant sources, such as corn, wheat, potatoes, or tapioca. It is extracted from these sources and retains its natural properties without any chemical or physical modifications. Native starch is commonly used in food and industrial applications due to its thickening, stabilizing, and gelling properties. In the food industry, it serves as a thickener in soups, sauces, and dressings. In the industrial sector, native starch finds use in the production of paper, textiles, and adhesives. Its natural composition and versatility make it a valuable ingredient in various manufacturing processes.

Native Starch Market

The global native starch market is primarily driven by the widespread product utilization as a thickening and stabilizing agent and the rising demand for convenience foods and processed products. Besides this, as consumers' lifestyles become busier, the demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) meals, sauces, and dressings has surged, boosting the utilization of native starch in the food industry. Additionally, the rising awareness among consumers regarding the benefits of natural and unmodified ingredients in food products has led to an increased preference for native starch over modified starches, strengthening the market growth. Moreover, the expanding industrial sectors, such as paper, textiles, and adhesives, rely heavily on native starch for its adhesive and binding properties, impelling its demand. Furthermore, the wide availability of raw materials, including corn, wheat, and potatoes, from which native starch can be extracted, is contributing to its market growth.

Native Starch Market Trends/Drivers:

Increasing demand for convenience and processed foods

The rising trend of urbanization and changing consumer lifestyles have led to a significant increase in the consumption of convenience foods and processed products worldwide. Consumers are seeking easy-to-prepare and RTE meals, as well as processed sauces, dressings, and soups, to fit their busy schedules. Native starch, being a natural and pure thickening and stabilizing agent, plays a crucial role in enhancing the texture, appearance, and overall quality of these food products. Its ability to provide improved mouthfeel, viscosity, and shelf stability has made it an essential ingredient in various food applications. As the demand for convenience and processed food products continues to rise, the requirement for native starch as a key functional ingredient is also growing, positively impacting the global market.

Shifting consumer preference for natural ingredients

In recent years, there has been a significant shift in consumer inclination toward healthier and more natural food options. Consumers are increasingly conscious of the ingredients present in the products they purchase and are seeking clean-label options with minimal chemical modifications. Native starch perfectly aligns with this demand as it is extracted directly from plant sources, such as corn, wheat, potatoes, or tapioca, without any chemical alterations. This natural composition makes it a preferred choice over modified starches, which may contain additives or undergo various chemical processes. As consumers become more health-conscious and demand transparency in food labeling, the demand for native starch as a natural and unmodified ingredient is witnessing substantial growth.

Expanding industrial applications

Beyond the food industry, native starch finds significant usage in various industrial sectors, such as paper manufacturing, textiles, and adhesives. In the paper industry, native starch is utilized as a binding agent to improve paper strength and enhance printability. In the textile industry, it acts as a sizing agent, providing stiffness and smoothness to fabrics. Native starch's adhesive properties make it an essential component in the production of adhesives for industries like packaging, woodworking, and construction. The continuous growth of these industries, particularly in developing regions, is driving the demand for native starch in the industrial sector. Moreover, its biodegradability and eco-friendliness further bolster its adoption as an environmentally sustainable choice in various applications.
