At 4.5% CAGR, Middle East & Africa Resistant Starch Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 1,023.89 Million by 2031, Says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights' research, the Middle East & Africa resistant starch market was valued at US$ 718.15 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 1,023.89 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.5% from 2023 to 2031. Rising popularity of plant-based food products and increasing demand for resistant starch in animal feed are among the critical factors attributed to the Middle East & Africa resistant starch market expansion.

Over the past few years, awareness regarding environmental sustainability has increased significantly. The number of people adopting a vegan and plant-based diet is growing continuously. Consumers' inclination toward minimizing the consumption of food products of animal origin, such as meat and dairy products, is attributed to various factors, such as environmental sustainability concerns, ethical considerations, and personal health objectives. This will likely generate demand for prebiotic fibers present in plant-based products or can be easily incorporated into animal-based products. According to the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP), resistant starch is a proven plant-based prebiotic. Manufacturers are planning to introduce plant-based products by including prebiotic ingredients. For instance, in 2021, the Vice President of Global Innovation and Nutrition at Kellogg's declared gut health to be the future of nutrition. Kellogg's will be focusing on promoting its diverse plant-based fibers that nourish the human gut. Moreover, although various food products show prebiotic properties, plant-based products such as seeds, grains, and oats are specifically explored and used as functional food. All these factors have significantly contributed to increased sustainability concerns among consumers. Thus, the rising popularity of plant-based food is emerging as a significant trend in the resistant starch market.
