The clean label starch import market in the Philippines continued to see strong growth in 2024, with key suppliers including Thailand, Indonesia, Denmark, Vietnam, and the Netherlands. The market experienced a significant increase in concentration levels, indicating a more dominant presence of these top exporting countries. Despite a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period of 2020-2024 remained robust at 7.59%. This trend underscores the continued importance and demand for clean label starch products in the Philippines market.

Clean label starch in the Philippines is gaining popularity as food producers seek natural thickening and stabilizing agents. The market benefits from rising demand for clean-label bakery, dairy, and ready-to-eat products, where starch plays a crucial functional role.
The clean label starch market in the Philippines is witnessing an upward trajectory, driven by the increasing preference for clean and natural food ingredients. Starches derived from natural sources such as corn, tapioca, and potatoes are replacing synthetic starches in many food products. With consumers becoming more conscious about the ingredients in their foods, there is a significant shift toward clean label starches that do not contain artificial additives, preservatives, or chemicals. The demand for these natural starches is prominent in the processed food and beverage sectors, where manufacturers are keen to meet the demand for healthier, cleaner options.
Challenges in this market include processing limitations and cost competitiveness. Producing clean label starches without chemical modifications can result in functional limitations, affecting their application in various food products. Additionally, these starches may be more expensive than conventional options, impacting their adoption by cost-sensitive manufacturers.
The Clean Label Starch Market in the Philippines is positioned for growth as more consumers demand natural and minimally processed ingredients in their food. Starch, used as a thickening agent or filler in various food products, is now being sought in its cleanest form, free from additives and chemicals. Investors can benefit from this market by focusing on sourcing, processing, and offering starch that meets clean label standards, which are in high demand in food processing, gluten-free products, and convenience foods.
The clean label starch market in the Philippines is driven by food safety and labelling regulations enforced by the FDA. Government policies promoting the use of natural, minimally processed ingredients in food manufacturing encourage the adoption of clean label starches. Additionally, support for agricultural productivity through the DA helps secure the supply of raw materials for starch production.
