CCM has published a new market report in December 2010, "Future of Modified Starch in Asia Pacific". The report covers the information about raw material supply, mass flow of modified starch in Asia Pacific region, especially making analysis on the situation of production and market of key manufacturing countries, such as China, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, etc. Besides, competition analysis and future forecast in these countries are also provided in this report.
Modified starch is close to people's life and economic development; this industry in Asia-Pacific region has witnessed a rapid growth in recent years. The total capacity has reached 2.8 million tonnes in 2009, accounting for 31.11% of global output. So far, the Asia-Pacific region has become the second largest production and consumption base of modified starch around the world next to the U.S. However, the total planting area of major feedstock of modified starch in the region might slightly decrease in the future. In Asia-Pacific region, the raw material planting area in 2009 covered about 93 million ha, accounting for 21.53% of global total planting area.
The report highlights the situation of six major countries, including China, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. In 2009, the output and consumption volume of modified starch in the six countries accounts for 95% and 83% of total modified starch in Asia-Pacific region respectively. Among the six countries, China is the largest producer and consumer in terms of quantity; Thailand and Indonesia are two leading producers of modified tapioca starch; Japan and South Korea are top two importers of modified starch, with nearly 50% of total consumption depending on imports. Modified wheat starch is the major species in Australia, accounting for about 75% of its total output.
CCM also makes a forecast on the development of modified starch in the future, and analyzes the industrial risk. Researchers from CCM estimate that the production and consumption volume of modified starch in Asia-Pacific region will increase with CAGR of around 5.00%-6.00% during 2010-2015. In the near future, there will be more investment opportunities in the region. However, the risks like fluctuant agricultural commodity price, fluctuant interest rate, increasing energy price, etc. will exert great influences on the development of modified starch industry in Asia-Pacific region in the next few years.
