Market Growth Factors
The wheat starch industry has been affected by the rising demand for gluten-free products as awareness of gluten intolerance and celiac disease has grown bringing forth gluten-free alternatives for consumers. Wheat starch is a gluten-free product since the gluten protein is removed in the production process. Along with the increasing rate of gluten intolerance and allergy, and the health risks of gluten-containing foods, gluten-free foods have grown as a healthy option, increasing the use of wheat starch in baked goods, convenience foods, and pasta.
The use of convenient processed foods is one of the major factors driving the market growth. The busy lifestyles and growing urbanization of developed and developing countries worldwide are creating a need for processed food products. Wheat starch sees use in numerous processed or ready-to-eat foods as a thickener, stabilizer, and binding agent. It is used for improvement of the texture, viscosity, and mouthfeel of many sauces, soups, gravies and snacks. Growth of the market is fueled by demand for low-cost solutions for manufacturers.
Other applications across various sectors also increase growth. Wheat starch is also employed as an excipient (i.e. aids in the drug disintegration and dissolution) within the pharmaceutical sector, due to its inertness, low allergenicity and compatibility. As a cosmetics ingredient, it is used as an oil absorbent, also a skin mattifying agent. In industry, wheat starch gives paper, adhesives, and textiles strength, smoothness, texture, and stiffness for sizing. These expanded applications broaden the footprint of wheat starch beyond its prior boundaries.
