At 6.6% CAGR, the MEA Industrial Starch Market is speculated to be worth US$ 13,529.58 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights’ research, the MEA industrial starch market was valued at US$ 9,202.88 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 13,529.58 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 6.6% from 2022 to 2028. Growing demand for industrial starch in biofuel application and product innovation in industrial starches are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.
Biofuel has an important role in the field of environmental conservation by mitigating global warming and conserving fossil fuels. Unlike other renewable energy sources, biomass can be processed and converted directly into liquid fuels, called biofuels, to help meet renewable electricity, thermal energy, and transportation fuel needs. Ethanol and biodiesel are the most common biofuels, representing the first generation of biofuel technology. Starch-based feedstocks include grains, such as wheat or corn, and tubers, such as cassava and (sweet) potatoes. These feedstocks comprise long, complex chains of sugar molecules. The starch can indeed be converted to fermentable sugars. The sugar can then be converted to ethanol or drop-in fuels. Many countries have implemented measures to minimize the environmental impact of conventional fossil fuel. Biofuels consumption growth is expected to grow the transportation sector, rising oil prices, and regulations. This significant growth in demand for biofuel is expected to propel the growth of the industrial starch market.
On the contrary, demand and supply gaps hurdles the growth of MEA industrial starch market.
