Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the UK market for starch-manufacture residues expanded slightly, with total volume rising from 365 thousand tons to 374 thousand tons. This growth was supported by a steady increase in domestic production, which climbed from 216 thousand tons to 250 thousand tons, while imports fell by over 20% during the same period.

The market entered a contraction phase from 2021 onward. By 2023, market volume had declined to 301 thousand tons, a drop of nearly 20% from the 2020 peak. This reduction coincided with a sharp fall in imports, which halved between 2018 and 2022, and a downturn in production after 2021, which fell to 212 thousand tons in 2023.

In the later years, trade flows showed significant volatility. Imports plummeted to 66 thousand tons in 2024 before surging to 157 thousand tons in 2025, while exports spiked to 4.9 thousand tons in 2023 but then fell back. Full market size data beyond 2023 is not available, but these trade shifts suggest changing supply patterns.
