Amphoteric Starch Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Raw Material (Waxy Maize, Cassava Starch, Others), By Application (Paper Manufacturing, Textile Industry, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The word "amphoteric" indicates that, when a chemical dissolved in solution, it has both negative and positive ion groups. Whereas the amphoteric starch is modified starch, it appears as a white color powder. The raw material such as waxy maize or cassava starch is used to produce amphoteric starch. It contains a cationic and anionic group. Usually, the cationic groups can be ammonium, amino, phosphonium, or sulphonium group. On the same side, the anionic groups may be carboxyl groups, phosphonate, phosphate, sulfonate, or sulfate. Additionally, the amphoteric starch provides enhance dry strength properties, improves drainage which leads to better sheet formation, retention of fines and fillers, and better print quality. These benefits surge its demand in the paper manufacturing and textile industry.

The increasing demand for the amphoteric starch in the paper manufacturing will drive the market growth. In the papermaking process, several materials are anionic which include titanium dioxide, wood fibers, expanders, clay, black liquor, pigment dispersant, and bleach chemicals. Whereas some of the materials are cationic including poly aluminum chloride (PAC), alum, and cationic resin. In which the amphoteric starch is used to maintain a clean and ionically balanced environment to attain an efficient result. The amphoteric starch is utilized as a size-press and wet-end papermaking additives to provide drainage, retention, and strength properties. It is also used as a drilling fluid additive, ceiling tile additive, agent, and viscosity modifier in ore recovery operations. Hence rising demand for the product in paper manufacturing will fuel market growth.

However, the high demand of amphoteric starch causes unavailability. This impacts the overall demand and restricts its adoption in various applications. Hence, this is anticipated to restrain market growth.
