“Optimal Price Point (OPP) for Modified Starch Products”
Estimated Average HPAPI product cost – $ xx globally. However, with improving access and availability of options, OPP and range of acceptable Prices (RAP) are going to change. We at Ameri Research continuously track these prices with our proprietary pricing model.
Increasing corn production coupled with government regulation are expected to influence pricing trends over the forecast period. Government imposing high taxes on textile exports is further anticipated to play a key role in shaping pricing strategies adopted by the companies operational in the market.
Raw Material Trends
The market is segmented into corn, potato, wheat, and cassava on the basis of raw material. Corn segment emerged as the leading raw material as of a result of wide application scope in food & beverages and animal feed. It is widely utilized as a thickening agent in soups, gravies, and custards. Potato starch also constitutes of a significant market share owing to its wide usage as water binder, anti-caking ingredient, bulking ingredient, thickener, and gluing agent.
Application Insights
Food & beverages were the largest application segment stand accounted for over 35% of the overall market revenue in 2016 and are anticipated to grow at a steadily over the forecast period. Modified starch are widely deployed in food & beverages for obtaining desired functional properties in convenience foods, beverages, and bakery & confectionary products. They are adjusted to improve their performance in varied applications by increasing their stability against extreme heat, acid, time and freezing to modify their texture for producing high demand food products.
Pharmaceutical segment is anticipated to witness steady growth with better healthcare facilities in lucrative markets of Asia Pacific and Latin America. Corn starch has been traditionally used as an excipient for solid dosage formulations. Varying on the application scope, native starch is also utilized as a classic tablet disintegrant and pregelatinized starch is used as a binder.
Function Outline
On the basis of function, the market has been segmented into stabilizers, binders, thickeners, and emulsifiers. Thickeners were the leading function segment owing to strong demand from food and beverages application. It is primarily used to provide texture in food products in order to address consumer requirements and maintain stable texture with variations of hot fluidity, stability & solubility, and temperature.
Growth Drivers & Restraints
Increasing sweeteners demand from beverages segment, specifically in non-carbonated soft drinks and sports & energy drinks due to their low-calorie content is set to offer lucrative business opportunities to industry participants. Changing consumption patterns along with shift towards western lifestyle has generated strong demand for packaged food in emerging economies. This factor is anticipated to remain the primary growth factor for market growth over the forecast period. However, strict regulatory policies in developed regions of North America and Europe has resulted in raw material scarcity and surge in prices, hampering modified starch market growth.
Regional Segmentation
North America was the leading regional market in 2016 owing to majority population opting for packaged food & beverages. Moreover, mature pharmaceuticals industry along with general awareness among consumers regarding healthy diet are key factors augmenting regional market growth. Robust textile industry growth in Asia Pacific countries including China, India, Japan, Malaysia and Bangladesh are anticipated to boost modified starch demand. Raw material availability coupled with pricing trends are set to shape up industry dynamics over the forecast period. European market is also expected to perform well due to presence of huge food processing industry in countries such as Germany, UK, Italy, and Spain
