Description:

Cornstarch is processed and refined from the kernels of corn by using a series of steeping (swelling the kernel), separation, and grinding processes.

The production of cornstarch in China originated from 1950s. Now the corn planting and the production of cornstarch, and the related industries, are all rather prosperous in China. Cornstarch industry now is big and has many downstream application fields in China, and most of the producers are located in North China.

The competitiveness of Chinese cornstarch producers has been greatly enhanced in the past few years and has aroused the world's attention. Apparently, China's cornstarch industry will impact the world cornstarch industry more significantly in the future.

Even though the output of cornstarch is huge in China,the supply of cornstarch is still tight.It is because that cornstarch has so many downstream application fields. As the inflation in China becomes serious in 2007, the export subsidy to many important cash crops and related products, including the corn and the corn starch, have been cancelled.

The increasing production of corn starch will not stop in the short run. It is apparent that the China’s production of corn starch will have great impact on the world market.

CCM has ever done a lot of work on this subject and obtained considerable credible data. In this report, the consumption of cornstarch industry is analyzed by consumption segment breakdown. The production data of cornstarch are analyzed by province to ensure accuracy. And most of big producers are carefully researched. The other sections, including the technology and and production processes, are both presented in detail.

Executive Summary

(Note: The following summary is based on the situation in 2004 and maybe different to what it is nowadays. Please be noted.)

- Corn
The corn output in China has been maintaining at XXX million MTs per year.

Apart from feed (XXX% of the total consumption), food (XXX%), seed (XXX%), about XXX% of corn is used for industrial processing. The corn processing quantity for industrial purpose in 2002 is XXX million MTs. Among them XXX million MTs of corn are used to make cornstarch.

Almost all the Chinese manufacturers are using the wet-milling process to make corn derivatives.

- Cornstarch
The total production of starch in 2002 is XXXMTs, among which XXX% are made from corn, XXX% made from cassava while XXX% made from potato and wheat. The production of cornstarch in 2002 is XXXMTs. While the production in 2003 is estimated to be XXXMTs.

By June 2004, there are XXX active producers of cornstarch in China. The most active ones include:
- Shandong Zhucheng Xingmao
- Changzhou Dacheng
……
……
The total capacity of cornstarch in 2004 is XXXMTs/year.

In recent years, the export of cornstarch from China has been increasing. The export in 2003 is XXXMTs. But the import quantity of cornstarch is no more than XXXMTs per year. In 2003, China only imported XXXMTs of cornstarch.

While every China imports quite a large amount of cassava starch from overseas. The import in 2003, of cassava starch, is XXXMTs

The superficial consumption of cornstarch in 2002 is XXXMTs. Of the total consumption, XXX% of cornstarch is further processing to make derivatives. The large cornstarch derivative items are
- SMG
- glucose
- citric acid
- modified starch
- sorbitol

About XXX% of cornstarch are used directly either as food, food additive or pharmaceutical expedient.
