Pregelatinized Starch Market Growth Potential: How Will Market Size Shift Through 2030?
The pregelatinized starch market has experienced consistent expansion in recent years. It is projected to increase from $2 billion in 2025 to $2.08 billion in 2026, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. Historically, this growth can be ascribed to the increasing consumption of convenience foods, the expansion of processed food manufacturing, a heightened use of starch-based excipients, the availability of various botanical starch sources, and wider adoption in bakery and dessert applications.
The pregelatinized starch market is projected to experience substantial expansion in the coming years. By 2030, its valuation is anticipated to reach $2.55 billion, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. This anticipated growth during the forecast period stems from factors such as the increasing need for clean-label ingredients, wider application in ready-to-mix items, the broadening of uses within pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors, a heightened emphasis on functional food recipes, and ongoing improvements in starch processing methods. Significant developments expected during this timeframe involve a surging demand for clean-label thickening substances, increased integration into instant food preparations, an expansion of applications for modified starches, greater uptake in pharmaceutical excipient roles, and a stronger emphasis on solutions for functional textures.

Pregelatinized Starch Market Growth Catalysts And Demand Drivers
The increasing consumer demand within the cosmetic industry is anticipated to boost the expansion of the pregelatinized starch market moving ahead. The cosmetic industry is defined as the sector involved in the development, promotion, and marketing of items designed to enhance or modify an individual’s appearance. Pregelatinized starch finds application in diverse cosmetic formulations due to its thickening, binding, and absorption characteristics. For illustration, data from 2023, as reported by the Cosmetic Toiletry & Perfumery Association (CTPA), a UK-based trade association representing the cosmetic and personal care industry, showed that the color cosmetics sector sold 118,178 units in 2022, which subsequently increased to 123,056 units in 2023, indicating a growth of approximately 4.1%. Concurrently, the skincare sector observed a rise from 456,401 units sold in 2022 to 460,868 units in 2023, reflecting an increase of around 1.0%. Consequently, the escalating demand from the cosmetic industry is propelling the growth of the pregelatinized starch market.

Pregelatinized Starch Market Trends Redefining Industry Growth
Leading companies in the pregelatinized starch market are developing new products, such as partially pregelatinized starch, to gain a competitive advantage. Partial pregelatinization means only a segment of the starch granules undergoes the pregelatinization process, leaving others in their original state. For instance, in October 2023, Roquette Frères, a France-based food company, introduced LYCATAB CT-LM, a partially pregelatinized starch crafted to offer versatility and moisture protection in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. With an exceptionally low water activity (Aw) of no more than 0.1 percent, LYCATAB CT-LM delivers superior stability in solid oral preparations. This multifunctional excipient operates as a filler, binder, and disintegrant, rendering it suitable for various formulations, including dry granulation, hard capsule filling, and direct compression. Exhibiting a loss on drying (LOD) not exceeding 7%, LYCATAB CT-LM fosters innovation while ensuring formulations are shielded from hydraulic degradation. Its integration into Roquette’s LYCATAB portfolio aims to boost production efficiency and enable rapid disintegration for an enhanced patient experience in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.
