Why is the World Witnessing a Rise in Wheat Starch Derivative Consumption?

“Wheat Starch Products - Natural Substance of Digestible Protein”

Starch is a commonly used and examined component of animal feed; it is utilized in manufacturing animal feed for swine, beef and dairy cattle, chicken, and other species. Starch serves as a primary source of energy and enhances production.

In the animal feed industry, wheat starch products are offered as a natural substance of digestible protein. These aid in the digestion of animal feed and also contribute to the protection of the animal's liver functions.

With their high nutritional value, starch products are an excellent milk alternative for calves. Starch products' high protein content makes them a viable meat substitute for pet food and are utilized as fiber filler in animal feed.

As a result of the rising demand for healthy and natural animal feed additives, the consumption of wheat starch derivatives is projected to expand steadily over the coming years.

“Demand for Functional & Fortified Products Surging”

Rising customer preference for healthy lifestyles, which is associated with different health benefits, is a primary element influencing the growth in demand for wheat starch derivatives. To meet customer demands, food manufacturers include functional additives into their products.

Wheat gluten has various functional properties and contains several essential nutrients and fibers that the human body requires.

Moreover, consumers are looking for foods that offer a variety of benefits in small serving sizes. As a result, wheat starch derivatives are utilized as functional ingredients in pasta, breakfast cereals, bread, bakery products, and a wide range of other food products.

Japan currently has a substantial proportion of its population that is above the age of 65. Healthy, fortified foods are becoming increasingly popular across the country. With such a wide range of goods available, this trend is expected to spread to the wheat starch derivative market over the forecast period. In keeping with this trend, major wheat starch derivative producers are adding additives to boost the nutritional value of fortified food products.

“Increasing Utilization of Food Additives”

With a high number of participants, the global food additives industry is fragmented. Leading companies such as Roquette Frères, AGRANA, and others are working to develop label-friendly food additives. The wheat starch derivatives market is predicted to grow due to the increased usage of additives in food products to improve texture and taste.

Wheat starch derivative products extend the shelf life of foods, including processed meats, soups and sauces, dairy desserts, and a variety of other items. As a result, the rise of the food additives sector has a direct impact on wheat starch derivative sales.

Food manufacturers are always on the lookout for food additives that can help them improve texture, binding, emulsification, and other properties, which invariably benefit wheat starch derivative suppliers.

“Rising Demand for Clean-label Products among Health-Conscious Population”

Clean label products are deemed healthier than non-clean label food as they are produced with actual foods rather than cheap chemical imitations. Authenticity, organic, traceability, and sustainable farming are all hallmarks of clean-label products.

Companies are increasingly offering clean-label products in response to consumer demand for items free of artificial and potentially hazardous substances. Clean label products are the food industry's response to increased consumer demand for healthy and natural foods. Wheat starch derivative demand is expected to rise owing to increasing demand for clean label products.
