The global industry is further boosted by native starch’s burgeoning applications in the textile sector, where it is used as a colour thickener, sizing agent, and finishing agent. Adhesive and paper industry are also rapidly emerging as prominent application areas for native starch. With growing environment consciousness, manufacturers as well as consumers are now increasingly utilizing potato and corn starch in place of conventional plastics. Popularly known as organic bioplastics, native starches are now used in the manufacturing of disposable cutlery and plates, given their disposable and sustainable properties.

The global market is filled with a number of local as well as international players who adopt strategies such as expansions, partnerships, and product innovations to bolster their standings. However, the most preferred tactic remains product innovations among the top manufacturers.
