Starch Product Manufacturing in the UK

Shifting consumer tastes are driving change in the Starch Product Manufacturing industry; they've cut demand for traditionally high-selling products, like glucose, but the industry has benefitted from rising prices and developing new uses of starches. As a result, revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 1.4% over the five years through 2023-24 to just under £1.8 billion. As the UK population becomes more and more health conscious, people's food choices are changing. Media coverage on the adverse effects of consuming processed food, gluten and sweeteners has put customers off buying products high in glucose, gluten and starch sweeteners. Sales of starch to thicken processed foods have also taken a hit.

Companies in the Starch Product Manufacturing industry produce starches and starch products from rice, potatoes and maize. This includes wet corn milling and the manufacture of glucose, gluten and tapioca.
