The global resistant starch market is set to witness growth at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period, totaling a valuation of US$ 19.9 Bn by 2032. Rising demand for high fiber resistant starch due to its health benefits and increasing applications in food manufacturing industries are some of the key factors stimulating growth in the global resistant starch market.
A good diet plan with healthy ingredients in this scenario does not come from only desire, but the need as well. Resistant or modified starches are perfect as a solution, being certified as non-GMO and healthier option of clean labeled foods. Branded modified starches can offer healthier enriched ingredients and whole grain options, while also providing same taste, baking quality, and texture as traditional items.
While food favorites like bread, pasta, pastries, and pizza are hard to resist and comforting, but enjoying those gluten-rich foods for long term may lead to serious health problems including stomach discomfort. Although there are many other gluten-free alternatives, such as nut flours and ancient grains, the same texture and great taste combination cannot be matched with resistant starch.
For better gastrointestinal health, eating a fiber-rich diet is necessary, and high fiber resistant starch can contain up to 10x the dietary fiber of traditional food items, making it a perfect product for reducing risk of strokes, heart attacks, obesity, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. Reduced gluten in resistant starch has better nutritional value as well with 55-70% less allergenic gluten than traditional items and up to 10 grams of fiber included.
