Market Overview

Industrial starch refers to a natural polymer that is extracted from wheat, corn, potato, or rice and utilised in non-food and processed food applications through physical and chemical modification. Its properties as a thickening, blinding agent, and efficient biodegradable & renewable quality make it a popular industrial element.

Brazil's extensive agricultural cultivation diversified across various climatic zones and crops, providing it with an abundance of raw material required for the production of industrial starch. High sanctions of production of synthetic chemicals in several applications have increased potential opportunities for starch-based adhesives and binders, to which Brazilian producers are responding positively. Industrial starch is biodegradable, has a lower impact on the environment, and is an excellent alternative to petroleum-based plastic. Its alignment with sustainable initiatives is boosting its market in Brazil. Moreover, starch production through an enzymatic and environmentally friendly processing technology is trending as it utilises fewer chemicals and provides a pure product.

Driving Factors

The Industrial Starch Market Size in Brazil is driven by increased demand for convenient food and the rising paper & packaging industry. Utilisation of starch in food provides them with proper texture, consistency, and stability. Changing lifestyles and a growing urban population demand ready-to-eat or minimal preparation required food, and to fulfil such food product demand, companies are dependent on starch, which helps in shelf-life expansion and improves food taste. Such starch benefits have increases it adoption in bakery, dairy, snacks food categories.

Growth in Brazil e-commerce sector, increasing office infrastructure and supplies and demand for sustainable packaging are driving industrial starch consumption, which eventually led to the expansion of the paper and packaging industry to cover this demand. Utilisation of starch in paper manufacturing provides paper with high strength, printability, and surface quality. Moreover, as demand for corrugated boxes and cartons continues to grow, starch will make an important contribution to it.

Restraining Factors

The Industrial Starch Market Size in Brazil is mostly constrained by fluctuations in raw material and the availability of alternatives. Fluctuations in production and quality of raw material due to climate change, pest & disease infestation, and global commodity prices affect manufacturing quantity and cost. Moreover, despite the increased preference for industrial starch-based products, synthetic-based products offer high performance in certain categories.

Market Segmentation

The Brazil Industrial Starch Market Size share is classified into source, type, and application.

• The corn segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The Brazil Industrial Starch Market Size is segmented by source into corn, wheat, potato, cassava, rice, and others. Among these, the corn segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The reason behind this is that corn is cultivated extensively in Brazil, especially at large scale in Mato Grosso, Parana and Goias.
