Pea starch is a new starch-based ingredient with a neutral taste, which is derived from yellow peas. It is rich in amylose, phytic acids, vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, thiamine, saponins and oxalates. As it offers nutritional benefits, such as improving muscle growth and increasing metabolism, it is widely used as a binding, gelling and thickening agent in sauces, soups, noodles, pasta and meat products. Pea starch also provides a crispy coating to frying batters and acts as a binder in processed meats. As a result, it finds extensive application in feed, textile, cosmetics, food and beverage (F&B) industries around the world.
Significant growth in the F&B industry across the globe on account of rapid urbanization, rising population and inflating income levels of individuals represents one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Pea starch is widely utilized in the preparation of bakery items, pasta, noodles and soups as it provides higher sustainability. Additionally, the widespread product adoption in the pharmaceutical industry for coating tablets and capsules and film-forming is positively influencing the market. Moreover, an increasing number of gluten-sensitive and health-conscious people are providing an impetus to the market growth. Pea starch is used as it has additional nutritional content, lower calorie content, and lactose and gluten-free formulation. In line with this, the escalating demand for convenient, ready-to-eat (RTE) food products due to the busy schedules and hectic lifestyles of the masses are favoring the market growth. Other factors, including the widespread product utilization in cosmetic products, such as creams, serums and lotions and the textile industry for textile sizing and cotton yards, are anticipated to drive the market.
