GCC Corn Starch Market 2025:
Increasing Demand for Flexibility

Emerging from the trends of
earlier years, the GCC Corn Starch market displays strong growth and
diversification for 2025. Corn starch used to be simply regarded as a food
ingredient, but has now transformed into a highly sought after raw material for
a range of industries including food, pharmaceuticals, and even paper
manufacturing. This is certainly building some growth momentum across the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) countries Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman,
and Qatar.

Primary Factors of Starch
Demand Regarding GCC Countries.

Arguably the most important
factor supporting the GCC corn
starch market demand is the growing food industry. The shift in the
region’s diet towards featuring more processed and convenience foods has meant
that corn starch is being used on an industrial scale as a thickener,
stabilizer, and texturizer. Corn starch can be found in numerous products from
sauces and soups, to even bakery items and snacks. Because of the region’s hot
climate combined with the rise in tourism, there is a growing demand for packed
and frozen foods that also require corn starch as key ingredient.

Contribution in Industrial Use

Deepening beyond its culinary
applications, the industrial application of corn starch is on the rise. It is
now being preferred by manufacturers in the textile, paper and even
pharmaceutical industries due to corn stalks being non-toxic and eco-friendly.
Corn starch strengthens the paper sheets and enhances their printability, while
in textiles, corn starch is used as a sizing agent. In the pharmaceutical
industry, corn starch is utilized as a binder and coating for tablets. Brownies
pointed out that the GCC region is highly concerned with sustainability, thus
nudging industries that use natural alternatives, like corn starch.

Innovation Sustaining Market
Expansion.

There is also a parallel cause
driving the market expansion which is innovation. Starch industries in the GCC
region are keen to widen their research and development to discover fresh
applications and improved formulations for corn starch. Industrial uses of
tailored modified corn starches that can withstand heat, acid or shear ar
becoming widely popular. Alongside this, regional government policies on food
sovereignty are accelerating the local production of corn starch, which in turn
reduces dependency on imported corn starch, stimulates job creation, and
bolsters economic resilience.

Challenges and Future Outlook

Like any other market, this one
has it’s own challenges. Priced raw corn, climatic conditions, along with
disruptions in the supply chain have potential consequences on yield and
accessibility. On the other hand, the GCC’s increasing investments in agribusiness
and logistics are expected to alleviate these impacts over time.
