Moulding Starch Market

Report Highlights

Moulding Starch Market Outlook

Moulding starch is a white powder that is obtained by the extraction process. Moulding starch is used for moulding, deposition, and drying of gummies, jellies, and other confectionery products. Moulding starch is spread on large trays and then the desired impression is imprinted with the help of mould. Moulding starch absorbs moisture from the deposited confections and it prevents stickiness. Moulding starch helps in the formation of any shape and then absorbs the moisture from the products as it cools, sets and dries. Moulding starch has a neutral flavour which does not interfere with the original taste of the product. Some companies have developed starch-based molding starch which contains vegetable oil or mineral that aids in holding a variety of imprints.

Increase in Demand for non-GMO Products is anticipated to Boosts the Moulding Starch Market

The growth in the demand for confectionery products is anticipated to boosts the sales of moulding starch. The rise in income, changing lifestyle, and preference for convenience are some of the important drivers for the increase in demand for confectionery products. The competition in the market is very intense, and therefore, the companies try to develop different shapes and sizes of the confectionery products to attract and increase the consumer base. Moulding starch is a key ingredient which helps to develop the different shapes and sizes of the confectionery products according to the requirement of the manufacturer. Thus, the increase in the demand for confectionery products is estimated to drive the moulding starch market.

The increase in awareness has brought a shift in the preferences of the consumers. The consumers prefer the use of products that contain non-GMO and natural ingredients. Some studies have shown that GMO foods are associated with some health problems such as increased aging, immune disorders, and increased risk of toxicity, etc., and thus, consumers prefer the use of products that contain non-GMO ingredients. Also, the increasing demand for clean-label products is expected to have a positive impact on the moulding starch market. The demand for clean-label products is increasing among the consumers as they are keen to know the product details and the ingredients used in them. Thus, the manufacturers are anticipated to use moulding starch to develop non-GMO clean-label products.

The demand for plant-based products is estimated to influence the sales of moulding starch. The increase in awareness about the side-effects of animal-based or synthetic ingredients and the rise in animal concern are some of the major drivers for the increase in demand for plant-based products. Thus, the manufacturers are expected to use plant-based moulding starch to develop the products according to the consumer requirements, which is estimated to increase the demand for moulding starch.
