The ingredients used in these products are grown or processed by using organic farming regulations, which make organic products healthier than conventional ones. Owing to the growing demand for organic products, starch manufacturers are also developing certified-organic products to cater to the emerging consumer trends. For instance, Ingredion launched a line of certified-organic functional native starch derived from waxy maize in November 2020. Similarly, BIOSTARCH, a Chinese manufacturer of starch, sweeteners, and flour, offers certified-organic waxy maize starch. The starch can be used in bakery products, baby food, frozen food, and other food products. Thus, the rising demand for organic food is expected to drive the waxy maize starch market growth in the coming years.
