Report Overview
The global corn starch market reached a volume of nearly 91.92 Million Tons in 2025. The market is assessed to grow at a CAGR of 2.70% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to attain a volume of around 119.98 Million Tons by 2035.
The global rise in processed and convenience foods is fuelling the corn starch demand due to its versatile applications as a thickener, stabilizer, and texturizer. Ready-to-eat meals, sauces, snacks, and baked goods use corn starch extensively. Urbanization, busier lifestyles, and increasing disposable incomes contribute to this expansion. As per the United Nations, 68% of the global population is estimated to live in urban areas by 2050. The processed food sector offers consistent demand and innovation opportunities, such as starches tailored for gluten-free or low-calorie foods.
Rising corn production is fostering the corn starch market development by ensuring a steady, cost-effective supply of raw material. Increased corn availability lowers input costs for starch manufacturers, enabling higher production volumes and meeting growing demand in food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. In March 2025, Cargill partnered with Saatvik Agro Processors to inaugurate a new corn milling plant in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, to meet the rising demand for starch derivatives in India's confectionery, dairy, and infant formula sectors. This abundance also supports innovation in corn starch derivatives and expands market reach.
