Earlier Report Observations
The Armenian starch market expanded from 3,210 tons in 2018 to 3,618 tons in 2020. This growth was initially supported by a 12.54% increase in flour production in early 2018, signaling broader development in the food processing sector that uses starch. Industrial output rose by 9% in 2019, further boosting demand. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 altered consumption patterns, leading to increased demand for food products and driving market volume to a peak.
After the 2020 peak, the market corrected to 3,149 tons in 2021. However, in 2022, Armenia's economy grew by 12.6%, largely due to an influx of Russian migrants and businesses relocating to the country. This surge in population and economic activity sharply raised domestic demand for food, pushing the starch market to a new high of 3,625 tons. By 2023, the market eased slightly to 3,492 tons, stabilizing despite continued overall economic growth and strong performance in other industries like ICT and automotive imports.
