Starch China Enterprise Research Report

Starch, including native starch and modified starch, is close to people's life for its wide application in food, paper, textile, feed, oil exploration, etc. China is the second largest starch producer in the world, only next to the U.S. China's starch industry has developed rapidly in recent years with strong governmental support. In order to guarantee food security, Chinese policies on starch industry attach much importance in the aspects of raw material supply, financing, taxation, environmental protection, industry standards, etc. With abundant raw material supply and low manufacturing cost, corn starch has become the most important native starch variety in China. Other native starch varieties, such as tapioca starch, potato starch and wheat starch, have much smaller market demand than corn starch due to various reasons. Producers are facing intense competition in this capacity-excessive industry, Also, with stricter environmental protection requirements, small-scale producers with little investment in waste treatment have been gradually phased out, while large-scale producers will continue to dominate the market with advantages in production cost and technology in the future. This report presents a comprehensive and deep analysis on 10 key starch producers in China, providing investors, researchers or enthusiasts for starch a unique perspective into raw materials, production, revenue and manufacturing cost of native starch and modified starch of these 10 producers during 2009-2010.
