The global cationic starch market size was USD 1608.2 million in 2021. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with cationic starch experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. As per our research, the market is projected to touch USD 2228.8 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The modified starch known as cationic starch is created through the chemical interaction of native starch and a cationic etherifying agent. When native starch is exposed to heat, acids, alkalis, or enzymes, the native starch undergoes morphological or physicochemical modifications that alter its structure. A carbohydrate derived from agricultural raw materials, starch is used in many everyday foods and non-food products. These have better heat resistance, binding properties, thickening properties, and water holding capacity. Some of the major sources of modified starches' raw materials include maize, potatoes, wheat, and cassava. Due to their partially digestible nature and the fact that they are gluten free, modified starches are frequently employed in the food and beverage industry as thickening, stabilizing, or emulsifying agents, which results in the consumption of less fat.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt on Manufacturing Operations to Slower Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on companies in a variety of industries, including the supply chain for food and beverages. The main myth surrounding COVID-19 is that empty grocery shelves are a sign that there is food scarcity because of recent rushes on grocery stores, which have caused these temporary delays as the supply chain tries to catch up and replace them. The pandemic will affect the global market for cationic starches in both positive and bad ways. Foods that have been prepared or packed have seen an uptick in sales as people stockpile. The COVID-19 pandemic is predicted to increase the consumption of processed foods and other goods that are shelf-stable and have a longer shelf life.

LATEST TRENDS

"Increasing Adoption of Modified Starch to Boost Market Growth"

Modified starch can be employed in a variety of applications since it has certain functional characteristics, including texture, flavor, and thickness. It is a flexible component that thickens custards, soups, gravies, and sauces. Additionally, it serves as an emulsifier, fat replacement, and texturizing agent. Because of its bulking and water-absorbing qualities, modified starch enhances the texture of the food it is added to. Additionally, modified starches might be utilized in place of fatty foods. Low-fat milk-based treats like yogurt and processed hard salami include modified starch. For instance, they can be used in place of gelatin in jellies, puddings, sauces, and ice creams.
