Resistant Starch Market

Resistant Starch Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The Global Resistant Starch Market size was estimated at USD 8.4 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach over USD 12 billion by the end of the assessment period. The Resistant Starch Market is expected to experience moderate growth to record a CAGR of 6.1% throughout the forecast period 2022 - 2027.

Resistant starch is a natural fiber that is not absorbed or broken down, converted to fatty acids by intestinal bacteria. The resistant starch is not fully absorbed from the small intestine but is transferred to the large intestine to be fermented by bacteria and create short-chain fatty acids, which are believed to benefit the body in various ways. The resistant starch helps the human body by reducing fat and cholesterol in the blood and by limiting the production of new fat cells, facilitates digestion and insulin sensitivity, keeps the appetite stable and helps the body's rehydration process and improves immunity. Resistant starch is also useful in preventing diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, and in enhancing the immune system. The resistant starch includes foods rich in fiber, such as legumes and grains, but it also contains food additives and foods rich in carbohydrates. 

The driving factors of the global Resistant Starch market are the growing incidence of health problems, increasing population and rising disposable income. Trends like the rising popularity of cereal bars in common consumers and sportsperson, the introduction of new innovative products and growth in the awareness of the diseases are propelling the demand for resistant starch. As resistant starch assists the body in preventing colon cancer, diagnose gut pain and assists in numerous other disease treatments which is driving its growth in the market.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

Starch is a sophisticated type of carbohydrate, which releases glucose during digestion and acts as an energy source for the body. Resistant starch is an indigestible fraction of starch, which causes bacterial fermentation and health benefits due to its low glycemic index and low carbohydrate content.

The increased need for low carbohydrates, gluten and dietary fiber in baked goods in the Asia Pacific will drive the consumption of resistant starch during the forecast period.

In the food industry, starches are mainly used as thickeners, texturizers, and stabilizers in products such as bread, cookies, ice cream, custard, pasta, noodles, etc. slow-digesting starch with resistant starch, which acts as a dietary fiber. It is attracting growing interest from scientists, industry and consumers due to their use as a dietary fiber and various health benefits, which is expected to stimulate product requirements during the outlook period. 

The resistant starch has a low glycemic index, which makes it a suitable substance to protect people against strokes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, obesity and, in particular, type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a concern in everything the world. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), in 2017, approximately 45.5 million adults ages 20 to 29 had diabetes in the North America and Caribbean region. The figure is supposed to increase by more than a third by 2030. Public health nutrition messages that focus on increased fiber intake and further emphasize that the use of resistant starch can lead to better public health outcomes. This, in turn, will facilitate the use of the Resistant Starch market during the outlook period. However, lack of awareness in the developing countries is assumed as the restraining factor for Resistant Starch Market during the forecast period.

SEGMENTED ANALYSIS

Global Resistant Starch Market Analysis - By Source 

The global resistant starch (RS) market is segmented according to the source from which the product is derived, which includes cereals, vegetables, and others. Cereals are small, hard, dry seeds that are harvested for human consumption. Rice, wheat, and legumes have a higher content of amylose, which is processed to improve the quality of resistant starch. With the increase in cereal production in Asia-Pacific, RS consumption is expected to grow significantly at an impressive rate during the forecast period. Cereals represented more than 45% of all the sources used in the production of RS.

Global Resistant Starch Market Analysis - By Application

In terms of Application the resistant starch market is divided into dairy products, baked goods, sweet confectionery, and ready meals. Of these, baked goods will see significant growth due to the increasing demand for natural, healthy, and gluten-free baked goods around the world.

Global Resistant Starch Market Analysis - By Type 

RSs are divided into Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4, and Type 5. Of these, Type 3 is widely used in baked goods and will see a steeper 6.4% CAGR incline overtime period. RS type 3 is a retrograde non-granular starch formed by cooling cooked starchy foods such as potatoes, retrograde high amyl cornstarch, corn flakes, and bread crust. It is a highly commercialized type of RS available for consumption that has the highest proportion of applications in the baking industry. With the increasing demand from the bakery industry, product requirements are expected to increase accordingly during the forecast period.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

The global Resistant Starch market has been divided by geography into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. Of these, the Asia Pacific region accounts for a dominant share of the international marketplace. The Asia-Pacific region is also home to the most abundant grains and fruits, a necessary factor in increasing Resistant Starch's manufacturing capacity. Increasing the spending capacity of the middle-class population to buy healthy foods high in dietary fiber and gluten-free will complement the consumption of products by 2025. For example, the Chinese food industry booming due to the increased use of dishes prepared. With the rising call for healthy, ready-to-eat foods in the North American and European countries, resistant starch is considered as an ideal substitute for conventional starch.
