Industry Definition and Segmentation

Maltodextrin which is a polysaccharide is obtained from starch through process of partial hydrolysis and is primarily used as a food additive. In appearance it is a white hygroscopic spray-dried powder and is usually applied in soft beverages and energy drinks, infant foods, breweries, ice-creams, candy, and other types of processed food products. In pharmaceutical industry maltodextrin is used in the form of diluents in tablets and layering material for the microencapsulation of several complex nutraceuticals like vitamins. Furthermore, it is utilised as an essential horticultural insecticide both in the field and in greenhouses. Maltodextrin is also used as an application in breweries as it improves the head preservation and desiccation of the drink. The maltodextrin industry report comprises segments based on by source (corn-based, wheat-based, potato-based, cassava-based, and others like rice, banana, etc.), form (Spray-Dried Powder and Instantized or Agglomerated), application (Food and Beverages, Cosmetics and Personal Care, Pharmaceuticals, Daily and Fine Chemicals, and Others) and region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and MEA).

North America and Europe Regions are Driving the Growth of the Industry

Owing to the rising consumption of ice creams, and sports and instant energy drinks North America and Europe have been important drivers of growth over the past years.

It is safe for diabetic patients as it not real sugar and hence it is predominantly used for manufacture sugar free items. In addition, because of its innate polymetric structure, maltodextrin is used as diluents in sachets and single-unit dosage formulations in the entire pharmaceuticals segment. The corn-based maltodextrin is extensively used in the manufacturing of baby food products as it helps stabilising the intestinal osmolality and improving hydration in infants.

The demand for maltodextrin may come down in Latin America, South America, and Central Europe in the years to come due to the side effects and health concerns such as blood sugar, extra fat, allergic reactions, weight gain, chronic inflammatory diseases, etc. related to its consumption. Higher demand for gums as alternatives for glucose, dextrose and maltodextrin may also restrict market growth. Moreover, gluten intolerant people may also not choose products manufactured using maltodextrin.

Best Procurement Practices

The global maltodextrin industry report by Procurement Resource gives an in-depth analysis of the best buying practices followed by major maltodextrin products utilising regions across the globe, such as engagement models, contract terms, and buyer and supplier negotiation levers, among others.

Category Management Studies

Maltodextrin is a variant of carbohydrate; however, it is intensely treated by acid-catalysed hydrolysis and forms into a white powder like substance derived from rice, corn, wheat, or potato starch. Its producers cook it initially and later add acids or enzymes to break it further. The ultimate product is a water-soluble white powder which has a no taste of its own. Maltodextrin is marketed in the form of white powders and distilled solutions. This powder form is utilised as a preservative in the foods, substituting sugar and enhance their consistency, shelf life, and taste.
