2009 Strategic Review of Starch Processing Industry and Global Modified Starch Strategic Analysis Bundle
S. K. Patil and Associates, Feb 2009, Pages: 223
This is a bundle of two brand new reports listed individually at higher prices; Report 1: 2009 Starch Processing and Modified Starch Strategic Analysis and Review; and Report 2: Global Modified Starch Strategic Review. The two reports bundled provide excellent products at a discounted price.
1) Strategic Review of Global Corn Starch Industry & Markets - Starch Derivatives, Sweeteners and Co-Products 2009
This report is a comprehensive document with detail information and industry data along with description of how industry or plants are managed. Report includes detail review of several areas that cannot be found in other publications. It is also a very informative representation of production, markets, products, costs, capacity and the players in the US. The data sets of sweeteners, starch derivatives, co-products and the impact of trade regulations are provided. None of this is available in any currently marketed reports, as the publisher has attempted to compile in this report. In the last section of report is a complete list of plants of small to large global players of this industry. the publisher provides deep insights into how this industry operates its costs, products and markets; an insider’s view with almost 100+ yrs. of experience of their associates. Their expertise in technology and marketing includes several aspects of this industry, several assignments in the operations, research and development; marketing and technology transfer in the U.S. and Europe. A great tool for current and future processors, suppliers, customers and an excellent resource to train new professionals in various functional departments within an organization or those who desire to enter this industry.
Starch processing and refining plants are highly sophisticated bioprocess operations that produce range of products (listed in Corn Annual) such as citric acids, lactic acids, lysine, threoninie, xanthan gums, erythritol, sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, hydrogenated starch hydrolyzates, maltodextrins, glucose hydrolyzates and the most recent nutritional products Sucromalt (more on this later). DuPont’s 1, 3 propendiol (PDO) a monomer for 3 GT polymer an alternative to synthetic fiber and Cargill Dow’s polylactate for biodegradable film to replace plastic film are other examples that can replace petroleum based products, there will be many more to come such as integration of wet and dry milling could be one of the major changes. Further merging of these technologies with petroleum refining model will enhance the contribution of this bioprocessing industry to renewable fuels.
Corn processing industry has undergone many evolutionary changes and is currently under tremendous pressure to maintain/improve margins. The industry has experienced consolidation in the past few years and this trend will continue to restructure and streamline scale and efficiencies. In 2007, CPI expanded its presence outside corn processing by acquiring SPI Polyols of Delaware, a major poylols processor. It was also well publicized that CPI agreed to be acquired by Bunge however this agreement fell apart in late 2008 due to stock market and general economic problems. Late last year, finally National will become a business of Akzo Nobel. Their understanding is that National will be managed as an independent business unit. Recent demand on starch from ethanol has greatly enhanced the margins including HFCS. The HFCS demands have flattened due to concerns of obesity and glycemic trends. Corn ethanol production and co-products increased dramatically from 2003 to 07.
In the area of starch nothing significant has happened in the sense of paradigm shift since introduction of waxy in the 40’sand high amylose in the 50’s. There are number of promising new product areas such a Novation/natural series of products to provide alternatives to chemical modifications and new hybrids with specific functions via biotechnology that are creating opportunities for high value new business segmen ts.Modified starches and the derivatives present excellent opportunities to grow value added high margin specialties. Their separate detail report on Global Modified starches 09 can be excellent source.
2) Global Modified Starch Products, Derivatives & Markets – A Strategic Review 2009
The publisher estimates during 2008 global dry starch production from all sources ~ 66.5 million tons, this will grow to almost 75 million tons by 2012. Current modified Agriculture production economics of China, rest of Asia, India and South America is improving at a rapid pace and starch from corn and tubers will compete with the US processors. China will be a formidable competitor to US and Europe. Demand for starch by food and non-food industries in Asia is likely to grow by 4 - 6 percent per year in low and middle income countries in this region. Over time, demand for starch by non-food industries will tend to grow faster than demand for starch by food industries.
Value added modified starch derivatives remains very attractive area due to high margins and numerous food and industrial applications. There are excellent opportunities to grow this business because of the growth in health, nutritional and functional needs of the changing consumer appetite as the publisher moves forward in the global economies. This is a comprehensive report with lot of data and insights in to modified starch products, market segments and future developments and how one can position in the changing global markets. Detail analysis of modified starches in food and industrial sectors provide in depth insights into the use and potential for modified starches.
Carbohydrate economy is moving forward with the pace of new knowledge and technologies developing at a great momentum. Besides the bio-fuel and bio-ethanol story; there are several developments underway using the biotechnology that will introduce new technologies and products that will potentially change the landscape for modified starches. Most notable are natural high phosphate starch that can potential replace chemical modifications especially starting with paper and other industrial application then in foods. National Starch, leading modified starches has introduced new line of natural starches to replace chemically modified starches. New hybrids via biotechnology will further enhance natural starches to be utilized to meet consumer demands. Corn with amylase and other enzymes in the grain that can be activated to improve processing economics of the way the publisher process carbohydrates or to create new carbohydrates with novel properties are moving forward.
Modified starches are utilized in hundreds or even thousands of food, industrial, biofuels, bioplastic applications. Unmodified starches have limited usage due to its inherent weakness of hydration, swelling and structural organization. To enhance viscosity, texture, stability among many desired functional properties desired for many food and industrial applications, starch and their derivatives are modified by chemical, physical and biotechnology means.
This is a focused report provides current situation, products, markets and future of modified starches for foods and industrial sectors. The publisher also provides their insights and strategic manufacturing and market positioning perspectives for the manufacturers of these products and potential future developments. This report provides many details; specific insights and starch derivatives market segment data not found elsewhere.
These reports can also be purchased seperately. See the Also Available link below for further information and a full table of contents for each report.
