The global modified starch market is estimated to be valued at USD 13.7 billion in 2022. It is projected to reach USD 15.9 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period. Modified starches are derived from native starches through a variety of processing techniques, including physical, enzymatic, wet-and-dry chemical processes, drum drying, and extrusion. These methods alter the characteristics of native starch, enhancing properties like freeze-thaw stability, resistance to acids or alkalis, and shear stability to fulfill diverse industrial needs. These modified starch products serve various functions such as thickening, stabilizing, binding, and emulsification in both food and non-food applications, including the animal feed sector.
