08-Sep-2025 | Zion Market Research

According to the report, the global modified wheat starch market size was valued at approximately USD 17.35 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach around USD 46.35 Billion by the end of 2034, expanding at a CAGR of around 11.54% from 2025 to 2034.

Global Modified Wheat Starch Market Size

Modified wheat starch is a wheat starch that is altered for key applications. In addition to this, wheat can be altered in myriad ways, namely, enzymatically and physically, as well as chemically. Furthermore, the key objectives of wheat starch modification are its utilization in a number of applications and minimizing negative properties of starch along with providing it with enhanced features. For the record, modified wheat starch is utilized in the preparation of various food products & beverages such as jellies, pie fillings, icings, sauces, breakfast cereals, soups, whipped cream, toppings, yeast-leavened doughs, pudding-type products, foam-type cakes, and meringues.

Furthermore, escalating end-user demand for processed foods has promoted the global modified wheat starch market trends. Apart from this, favorable product features including gelling, thickening, and stabilization will account sizably for the global market revenue. In addition to this, modified wheat starch offers proper texture and viscosity in the diet along with enabling the retention of moisture. Additionally, modified wheat starch supports gel formation and binding. All these above-mentioned factors will spur the expansion of the global market.

Nonetheless, rising raw material costs have decimated the growth of the global modified wheat starch industry to a larger extent in recent years. However, large-scale utilization of modified wheat starch in pharma preparations is projected to create new growth avenues for the global industry in the upcoming years. This will offset the impact of hindrances on the global industry.

Global Modified Wheat Starch Market

 The global modified wheat starch market is sectored into type, application, functionality, end-user, and region.

The type segment of modified wheat starch market is segmented into organic starch & general starch segments. Furthermore, the organic starch segment, which accounted for over half of the global market share in 2024, is set to retain its leading market position in the forecast timeline. The segmental growth in the coming eight years can be credited to its high energy value contents along with its humongous application as a thickening, clouding, glazing, and stabilizing agent. Additionally, it is also used in huge proportions in the preparation of pasta, dairy items, sugar confectionery, bakery items, soups, alcoholic drinks, and snacks.

On the basis of application, the global modified wheat starch industry is sectored into drug formulations, food & beverages, animal feed, textile manufacturing, paper, and cosmetics segments. The food & beverages segment, which lead the global market share in 2024, is anticipated to register the highest gains during the assessment period. The growth of the segment in the next couple of years can be subject to the large-scale use of modified wheat starch in food & beverages owing to the former’s ability to prevent elasticity in dough formation. In addition to this, modified wheat starch helps in food binding methods as well as in the formulation of gluten-free foods.

In addition to this, Asia-Pacific, which contributed more than 50% of the global modified wheat starch market share in 2024, is expected to retain its dominant position in the global market over the assessment period. The regional market expansion from 2025 to 2034 can be subject to a rise in per capita expenditure, an increase in disposable income, and a growing preference for convenience & processed diets. On the other hand, key industry players are setting their headquarters in the region owing to the easy availability of raw materials and an inexpensive workforce. This aspect is projected to play a key role in influencing the growth of the market in the sub-continent.
