“Growing Demand for Clean Label and Gluten-Free Products”
- The increasing consumer preference for natural, gluten-free, and clean-label food products is one of the primary trends shaping the global tapioca modified starch market
- As consumers become more health-conscious, they are increasingly opting for products free from additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients
- Tapioca modified starch, being a natural, non-GMO alternative, aligns with these trends, making it an essential ingredient in the food and beverage sector
- Moreover, the shift towards gluten-free diets is also fueling the demand for tapioca starch as it serves as a perfect substitute for wheat-based products
- For Instance, in North America and Europe, there has been a significant rise in the production of gluten-free products, such as baked goods and snacks, using tapioca modified starch. Brands such as General Mills and Nestlé have started incorporating tapioca starch into their product formulations to cater to this growing consumer demand
