Due to COVID-19 pandemic situation there was a significant decrease in consumption of wheat based flour/cornstarch across all food related industries which led to a decline during 2025 but it began recovering soon after restrictions were eased off on various economic activities post mid 2025. This resulted into reduced import volumes from overseas suppliers resulting into lower availability at domestic markets ,which eventually pushed prices higher. Companies also shifted focus onto developing alternate plant proteins sources such as pulses which took away some share from traditional starches.
Some challenges faced by manufacturers operating within this sector are increasing raw material costs due to volatile global commodity prices coupled with fluctuations in exchange rates between countries where these inputs are sourced from ? making it difficult for companies maintain consistent cost structures over long periods of time. Alongside this there exists competition saturation within domestic markets due presence numerous regional & international players offering similar product portfolios making it harder for new entrants penetrate effectively without sacrificing margins.
Major companies operating within Indonesia Corn Starch Market include PT Tiga Pilar Sejahtera Food Tbk., PT IndoFood Agri Resources Tbk., Gery Boga Group.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
