The COVID-19 pandemic is foreseen to have mixed impact on the potato starch market growth.

Increasing Prevalence of Diabetes May Boost Demand for Complex Carbohydrates

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that by 2045 the number of diabetics worldwide is likely to rise to 700 million, with the incidence of type 2 diabetes growing in many parts of the world. Type 2 diabetes develops when the pancreas are unable to produce sufficient insulin to process the sugar released by the carbohydrates. The main culprit here is the simple carbohydrates that get quickly absorbed by the body for energy. These enter the bloodstream directly and spike sugar levels. Excessive intake of substances having high simple carbs content significantly elevates the risk of diabetes and other chronic diseases. Rising awareness about the major health risks of simple carbs is shifting consumer preference toward complex carbohydrates, such as those found in potato starch, which aid metabolism by releasing energy slowly. As metabolism strengthens, the body’s capacity to process sugar also increases, thereby lowering the risk of diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
