In the Indonesia modified starch market, the import trend exhibited significant growth from 2023 to 2024, with a notable increase of 535.74%. Moreover, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2020-2024 stood at 65.52%. This surge in imports can be attributed to a shift in demand dynamics or changes in trade policies that influenced market dynamics during this period.

The Modified Starch market in Indonesia is projected to grow at a growing growth rate of 8.74% by 2027, within the Asia region led by China, along with other countries like India, Japan, Australia and South Korea, collectively shaping a dynamic and evolving market environment driven by innovation and increasing adoption of emerging technologies.

Modified starch is a form of processed food additive, produced by the chemical and physical modification of native starches from corn, wheat, potato or tapioca. Modified starches offer improved functionality over unmodified starch in terms of viscosity, stability and freeze-thaw performance. In Indonesia modified starch is used extensively in bakery products, soups & sauces and snacks to improve texture, shelf life and mouthfeel.
In recent years there has been increasing demand for healthy food ingredients among Indonesia consumers which has resulted in growing demand for modified starches as they are considered to be healthier than traditional artificial additives. Furthermore the use of modified starch as a thickening agent has also gained popularity within the Indonesia market due to its ability to replicate the textural properties offered by animal proteins while maintaining product quality without adding fat content or calories. Additionally more manufacturers have started using organic certified versions of modified starch such as cornstarch which adds value to their products and helps them differentiate themselves from competitors.
The key drivers for growth in the Indonesia modified starch market include an increase in consumer awareness regarding health benefits associated with natural additives; rise in disposable incomes coupled with rapid urbanization; increasing demand for convenience foods such as instant noodles; expanding ecommerce sector leading to greater availability of these products; innovation within product portfolios catering towards specific needs such as gluten free variants etc.; along with a shift towards plant based proteins rather than animal based ones providing further opportunities for growth.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the modified starch market in Indonesia. The pandemic has caused disruption in trade, supply chain activities and manufacturing processes, which have affected the demand for modified starches in food & beverage applications. Additionally, the lockdown imposed by government to contain virus spread resulting into closure of hotels, restaurants and other catering services that are major consumers of modified starches further contributing to market decline.
A key challenge faced by manufacturers is establishing hygienic production facilities due to stringent regulations from both national and local governments concerning food safety standards. Moreover, inadequate access to modern technology also limits their ability to create new products with improved functionality at competitive prices. Furthermore, rising costs associated with raw materials as well as labor costs pose a significant threat towards achieving high profit margins for producers operating within this space.
The leading players accounting for majority share in the Indonesia modified starch market include Cargill Incorporated (U.S.), Archer Daniels Midland Company (U.S.), Ingredion Incorporated (U.S.), Tate & Lyle PLC (UK), Roquette Freres SA (France), AGRANA Beteiligungs AG (Austria) , Avebe UAS BV(Netherlands), Grain Processing Corporation (US), Emsland Group GmbH & Co KG (Germany).

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.
