1) According to the reports by USDA and EU commission, total utilization of starch, sweeteners and their derivatives including ethanol from dry starch from corn, wheat, potato and cassava in the world in 2009 is estimated at 67 million tons and 68 million tons forecasted for 2010. This is only shy of 2 million tons shy of 70 million tons we projected back in 2003. We have seen annualized growth of 2-3% and China/India added positively to this growth in view of slowdown in the US and EU. This is slow compared to growth of starch (from wet milling) usage for ethanol, is global average. Whereas US grow by ~2%/year, EU at ~2%, and Japan at 1-2%, China and India the growth is strong as expected to be 4-5 % the rest of the world grows at 3-4%. Both the US and EU will have to compete for this growth in China, India, other regions. There are only few starch processors left in the US, the major processors from the US, ADM and Cargill are positioning themselves in EU and Asia. Recent announcement agreement between CPI (Corn Products Int.) and National that CPI will acquire National's food portfolio gives CPI an excellent position in modified starches worldwide. Cassava in SE and S Asia, South America and Africa will become more dominant starch commodity as more production technology is deployed. Cassava is 7.5 % of world starch and this figure will rise as China, India, South America and SE Asia continue to improve their production economics.
2) Modified starch remains very attractive areas due to high margins and many universal food and industrial applications. There are excellent opportunities to grow the business in view of changes in the health, nutritional and functional needs of the changing consumer appetite as we move forward in the global economies. This is a comprehensive report with lot of data and insights in to modified starch products, market segments and future developments and how one can position in the changing global markets.
3) Modified starches are utilized in hundreds or even thousands of food, industrial, biofuels, bioplastic applications. Unmodified starches have limited usage die to its inherent weakness of hydration, swelling and structural organization. To enhance viscosity, texture, stability among many desired functional properties desired for many food and industrial applications, starch and their derivatives are modified by chemical, physical and biotechnology means.
4) Novel carbohydrates based functional foods are now available. This is very critical area for health/nutrition and many functional areas. During the rest of this decade we estimate aggressive growth for certain modified starches such as tapioca, dextrins, polyols and physically modified starches such as Novation by National Starch. The last group is growing due to the demands of organic/natural, convenience, healthy snacks among others. In recent years the modified starch sales to food and industrial sectors has evolved to meet the changing demands and trends in consumer markets, organic and natural remains a good example.
This report provides current situation, products, markets and future of modified starches that are used in foods and industrial sectors. We also provide our insights and strategic manufacturing and market positioning perspectives for the manufacturers of these products and potential future developments.
5) Our main report "STRATEGIC REVIEW OF GLOBAL STARCH PROCESSING INDUSTRY - STARCH DERIVATIVES, SWEETENERS AND CO-PRODUCTS" 2010 provides a very detail analysis of a total industrial perspective of how this businesses operate, its products, costs, markets,
