Potato starch has a neutral flavor and offers various functionality in different applications, even in small or large quantities, in food, pharmaceutical, chemical, paper, and other industries due to its thickening, gelling, and stabilizing properties. It is preferred over other starches, such as corn starch, due to its high consistency on pasting, excellent and flexible file formation, binding power, and low gelatinization temperature. The increasing demand for processed and convenience food, the increasing demand for potato starch in the paper and packaging industry, the increasing demand for natural food ingredients, the rising incidence of celiac disease and other food allergies, and the increasing demand for functional food products are the key factors driving the growth of the potato starch market. However, the alternative starches available in the market are expected to hinder the growth of this market to a notable extent.

The potato starch market is segmented by nature (conventional, organic); type (modified potato starch, native potato starch); function (thickener, binder, stabilizer, disintegrants, and other functions); application (food & beverage [bakery & confectionery products, dairy products, soups, & sauces, savory, and prepared foods, meat & seafood, other food products], paper industry, pharmaceutical & chemical, animal feed, and other applications), and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the regional and country-level markets.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) agricultural projections, some major agricultural exporters, such as Russia, Ukraine, and Vietnam, introduced export quotas or outright bans of international shipments, primarily food products. Agricultural production was also hampered due to low labor availability. According to the European Parliament, due to the pandemic's impact on the agri-food sector, governments and commissions had to adopt various measures to support producers. People also moved toward homemade food rather than dining out. Additionally, the food demands from hotels and restaurants were reduced due to social distancing practices, which impacted the demand for potato starch in the market.

According to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), imports and exports in many countries were stopped, and ports were closed due to regulations and restrictions. A number of shipping containers were in Chinese ports, and restrictions on their movement had led to a shortage that affected the price rates, cargo prices, demand for food products, and traffic volume. Air freight costs were raised by about 30% between China and North America and around 60% on some routes to Europe-North America. Thus, it affected the export market due to higher logistic costs and rules and restrictions.

However, the demand and use of potato starch have increased in industries such as food and beverage, animal feeds, and pharmaceuticals due to increased awareness of health & wellbeing. During the pandemic, the demand for ready-to-eat food products increased. The young generation preferred ready-to-cook or ready-to-eat products.

Moreover, there was a rise in the demand for functional & immunity-boosting products as people sought solutions to boost overall health and well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic also compelled health-conscious customers to turn to functional and gluten-free products. Hence, increasing health consciousness and the high demand for functional food products encouraged manufacturers and product formulators to focus on these products. The pandemic also spurred a shift toward healthy living, improving people's food habits. For instance, according to the Food Information Council survey 2021, in 2020, 85% of Americans changed their food habits, and in 2021, 39% followed specific diets. These changing food habits boosted the healthy living trend in the U.S., further driving the demand for functional products in the country.

Therefore, strong demand for pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, and home care are expected to support the growth of the potato starch market. Considering the overall impact of COVID-19 across industrial sectors that use potato starch, the impact of the pandemic on the potato starch market was positive.
