Pea Starch Market Growth & Trends

The global pea starch market size is expected to reach USD 203.6 million by 2030, expanding at a revenue-based CAGR of 12.1% over the forecast period, according to a new report published by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is majorly driven by the rising demand from nutraceuticals industry coupled with growing consumer inclination toward non-GMO and gluten free diets.

Pea starch is mostly accessible as a by-product of protein extraction. As a result, it is considered to be an economical source of starch as opposed to wheat, potato, and corn starches. Furthermore, growing demand of pea starch from the sum of applicable industries and augmented manufacturing of pea is also anticipated to propel the market growth. However, rising occurrence of retrogradation effects of the functional characteristics of pea starch, may significantly hinder the market growth.

Pea starch is considered to be gluten free as well as non-GMO. It is different from other native starches as it has high amylose content. It can also form a gel in water at a much lower dosage than other variants. It is considered to be an ideal ingredient for food products that require less elastic texture for gums, meats, extruded cereals, coatings, and others.

On the basis of type, the market is segmented into food grade, feed grade, and industrial grade. The product has been progressively used in foods grade segment on account of its capability to supplement protein content in foods, which makes it best for soups and sauces, confectionery, noodles, pastas, meat bakery, and sea foods, among other applications. The market is strengthened as a thickening, texturing, and gelling agent in the production of bakery goods like dressings, cakes, and desserts on account of its encompassing gluten-free properties.

On the basis of application, the market is segmented into food and beverage, animal feed, paper, pharmaceuticals, and textiles segments. Food and beverage segment held a dominant market share of 39.19% in 2018.
