It is a neutral?tasting modified starch powder which is utilized to thicken food and drink instantly and is used in the dietary management of dysphagia. Therefore, this significant rise in the opening of the R&D center for food and beverage products is anticipated to drive the demand for modified starch as a thickening, gelatinizing, binding and stabilizing agents and improve the quality of food products. This, in turn, will likely boost the global modified starch market.
Furthermore, there is certain government initiative reported to boost the food processing sector, which in turn, is offering significant opportunities for R&D investment in the country. For instance, as per the International Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the food processing sector in India has received nearly $7.54 billion worth of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) during the period, April 2000-March 2017. At present, 100% FDI in food processing sector is allowed in India for the establishment of a manufacturing unit.
