At 7.7% CAGR, the MEA Waxy Maize Starch Market is speculated to be worth US$ 197.93 million by 2028, says The Insight Partners

According to The Insight Partners’ research, the MEA waxy maize starch market was valued at US$ 127.07 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 197.93 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 7.7% from 2022 to 2028. Surging Demand for organic waxy maize starch and increasing strategic developments by major market players are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.

With rising health consciousness and growing awareness regarding the side effects of chemical additives in food and beverages, the demand for certified-organic products has increased significantly. Organic products are free from chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms. The ingredients used in these products are grown or processed by using organic farming regulations, which make organic products healthier than conventional ones. Owing to the growing demand for organic products, starch manufacturers are also developing certified-organic products to cater to the emerging consumer trends. For instance, Ingredion launched a line of certified-organic functional native starch derived from waxy maize in November 2020. The starch can be used in bakery products, baby food, frozen food, and other food products. Thus, the rising demand for organic food is expected to drive the waxy maize starch market growth in the coming years.
