STARCH HYDROXYPROPYLTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Starch Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride Market size was USD 0.04 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 0.08 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 6.8% during forecast period.

The market has been growing steadily, primarily driven by the increasing demand for personal care and home care products.

Starch hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride is a cationic derivative of natural starch that is used as a conditioning agent in hair and skin care products. It is also used as a thickening agent in personal care and home care products. The two types of starch hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride available in the market are powder and liquid forms. The four primary varieties of cationic starch include wheat and other cationic starches, potato cationic starch, tapioca cationic starch, and corn cationic starch. An alkaline solution is used to prepare derivatives of corn cationic starch, a form of starch that has a high degree of substitution. It has several organic and conventional natural elements, which are frequently employed as wet end additives in papermaking because they help to achieve increased thickness. These cationic starches are employed in the paper-making process, the textile business, the mining sector, and the sewage treatment industry.
