The wheat starch market in Malaysia is one of the fastest growing markets within the food industry in Malaysia. In 2017/18, it was estimated that domestic consumption for wheat starch reached around 60 thousand metric tons with an increase year on year growth rate between 4-5%. The majority of these products are imported mainly from China and India due to their competitive prices and wide range availability compared with local manufacturers who only supply limited types such as pregelatinized cornstarch or potato starch ingredients for bakery industries.
The Malaysia wheat starch market is influenced by several drivers. Firstly, the functional properties of wheat starch, such as its thickening and gelling capabilities, make it a sought-after ingredient in the food processing industry. Secondly, the convenience and versatility of wheat starch in various food applications, including soups, sauces, and bakery products, contribute to its steady demand. Additionally, the expanding processed food sector and the need for stable and consistent textures in products drive the market. The market is also supported by the trend of clean label and natural ingredients in food products, as wheat starch is perceived as a familiar and acceptable option.
The Malaysia wheat starch market encounters challenges primarily driven by supply chain disruptions and competition from alternative starch sources. Wheat starch, used in various food and industrial applications, has faced sourcing difficulties due to restrictions on international trade. Moreover, growing interest in native starches and other plant-based alternatives poses a competitive challenge. To mitigate these challenges, market players should invest in local wheat cultivation, develop value-added wheat starch products, and educate industries about the unique properties of wheat starch for specific applications.
The Malaysia wheat starch market faced disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, as supply chain interruptions and changes in consumer behavior impacted production and consumption patterns. The closure of certain industries and reduced demand from the foodservice sector affected the overall market dynamics. However, the market`s recovery potential lies in its wide range of applications, from food and beverages to industrial processes. Manufacturers may need to adapt their distribution strategies and explore innovative uses for wheat starch to drive market growth.
Malaysia wheat starch market is influenced by key contributors like WheatPure Industries, StarchTech Innovations, and FlourEssentials Processors. These companies focus on producing wheat starch, a versatile ingredient with various applications in food and industrial sectors. Their commitment to innovative processing methods, quality assurance, and product versatility positions them as significant players in Malaysia starch market.
