COVID-19 had both positive and negative impacts on the market. Processed and packaged foods were in high demand during the pandemic when consumers rushed to pile up foods that had longer shelf lives, which led to higher demand for modified starch. However, many restaurants and food service outlets were shut as well as the food and beverage supply chain was disrupted due to lockdowns and restrictions across the globe. As the supply chain is gradually restored and restaurants and other food service establishments start to reopen, the market is anticipated to return to its pre-COVID levels.

Convenience foods are mainly prevalent in North America and Europe based on regional annual consumption rates. People's lives are nowadays becoming hectic and isolated, resulting in little time for home cooking. Globalization and the resulting lifestyle changes have resulted in an increase in the consumption of convenience foods in various countries around the world, especially in Asia's expanding markets, thereby increasing the demand for modified starch.

Modified starch is utilized in a wide range of industries, including food, papermaking, cosmetics, personal care, and textiles due to its many advantages. The personal care and cosmetics industries use modified starch as a versatile additive. Manufacturers are making new cosmetic products using organic ingredients like modified starch, as the demand for natural cosmetics has grown over the past few years, which is expected to fuel product demand in the coming years.

A significant number of international fast-food restaurant chains have expanded their operations in various parts of the world over the past few years, each with its own cuisine and product offerings to meet consumer demand in multiple regions. Fast food restaurants often utilize modified starch in their food preparation to enhance the flavor, taste, and texture of products, which will drive product demand during the forecast period.
