According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Pregelatinized Instant Starch market size was valued at US$ 1958 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2977 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.2% during review period.
Pregelatinized instant starch is a type of starch that has undergone physical or chemical pretreatment, enabling it to dissolve rapidly in cold water and form a stable paste. Due to its superior solubility and binding properties, it is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and paper industries to improve product processing efficiency and quality.
The pregelatinized instant starch industry chain can be divided into three segments: upstream raw material supply, midstream processing and manufacturing, and downstream application markets. The upstream segment uses natural starch crops such as corn, cassava, potato, and wheat as core raw materials, involving agricultural planting, raw starch processing, and some auxiliary additives. The midstream segment is the manufacturing stage of pregelatinized instant starch, where companies use physical or chemical/enzymatic methods to gelatinize, dry, pulverize, and modify raw starch to give it functional properties such as rapid dissolution in cold water, rapid thickening, and stability. The downstream segment is widely used in food (ready-to-eat foods, instant beverages, baking, condiments), pharmaceuticals (excipients, disintegrants), feed, papermaking, textiles, building materials, daily chemicals, and adhesives. The diversification of application demands and functional upgrades continue to drive the entire industry chain towards higher added value and refinement.
In 2025, the average price of pregelatinized instant starch was US$710 per ton, and the sales volume was 2681 k tons.
Pregelatinized instant starch has significantly improved the efficiency and quality of various industrial and food processing due to its rapid dissolution and paste-forming properties in cold water. Its wide application not only simplifies the process flow, but also enhances the adhesion and stability of the product. Especially in the convenience food, pharmaceutical and papermaking industries, pregelatinized instant starch has become a key functional raw material, meeting the needs of modern production for efficiency and convenience.
