Earlier Report Observations

The maize starch market in Israel expanded from 40 780 tons in 2018 to 62 525 tons in 2021, driven by the adoption of corn starch-based materials in eco-friendly disposable tableware as a plastic substitute and its broadening use in gluten-free baking and food thickening. Consumer preference for non-GMO and preservative-free products further stimulated demand.

New product launches, including corn starch-based baking mixes and cosmetics, supported market growth through 2021, even as labeling regulations tightened. After peaking in 2021, the market contracted to 53 266 tons in 2022 and stabilized near 52 750 tons in 2023, while industry focus remained on quality, kosher certification, and compliance with local standards.
