Chinese Starch Industry Hot Topics

During 2009 to 2010, starch industry has witnessed some changes according to this report’s research. Affected by decreasing yield and increasing demand from downstream industry, starch feedstock price shows an increase in 2010 and supply is tighter than before. In August 2010, China begins to run anti-subsidy investigation into EU’s potato-based starch, aiming to protect Chinese potato starch industry.

With the improvement of life quality, more high-end modified starch is needed; waxy-based starch is a development trend for starch industry in the future. In 2010, some starch enterprises conduct integration by acquisition, extending business to downstream industry. Enterprise integration can capture more market share in the highly competitive starch industry nowadays, and enhance enterprises’ competiveness.
In recent decades, Chinese starch industry has witnessed a fast development and great change. Generally, starch industry is influenced by feedstock supply and price fluctuation, government policy and global market situation. How do these factors influence Chinese starch industry? What changes will happen to Chinese starch industry in the future?
