Market Analysis

Cassava Market Overview:

The market for cassava is experiencing steady growth, bolstered by the escalating population growth and the extensive utilization of this crop in the food and beverage sector. Besides this, the ability of cassava to grow in diverse agro-ecological conditions makes it a critical food security crop, particularly in regions prone to drought and other environmental stresses, which is further augmenting the market expansion. For instance, according to Farm Credit Canada (FCC), food and beverage sales grew by 3.5% year on year basis to US4 122.9 Billion.

Cassava functions as a versatile raw material for various industrial applications, including starch, ethanol, and biofuel production. The growth of industries, such as food processing, paper and textile manufacturing, and bioenergy drives the requirement for cassava-based products and derivatives, further fueling the market growth. For example, AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG announced an expansion of wheat starch production in Pischelsdorf, Lower Austria as wheat starch is used for the production of noodles and bakery goods.

Cassava Market Trends:

Diversification of Cassava-Based Products

The rising trend of diversification of cassava-based products to meet evolving consumer preferences and demands is largely driving the market growth. In line with this, the ongoing innovations in product development, packaging, and marketing strategies facilitate the introduction of new cassava-derived products, such as gluten-free snacks, convenience foods, and functional ingredients, targeting niche market segments. For example, Cargill, Incorporated introduced label-friendly tapioca under the SimPure line. SimPure products were earlier made using only waxy corn- and potato-based starches. Tapioca starch provides soft texture, strong water-binding properties, and cold-storage stability.

Moreover, Ingredion Incorporated launched PURITY P 1002, a pea starch to strengthen its plant-based portfolio. The product provides improved texture for several applications ranging from plant-based cheese to gluten-free baked goods and to gelatin-free confectionery.

Product Innovation and Development

Technological innovations, such as improved planting materials, precision farming techniques, and mechanization, are driving productivity gains and efficiency improvements in cassava cultivation, which is a major driver for market growth. In addition to this, the widespread adoption of modern farming practices to enhance yield, reduce production costs, and mitigate risks associated with climate variability and pest pressures is also stimulating the cassava market expansion forward. For example, Chorchaiwat Industry Company Limited launched its new product, named Sava Flour, in the Thai market. The product is gluten-free and is an all-purpose starch that is made using cassava as the raw material. Additionally, it is free from nuts, grain, and dairy; hence can be used by individuals suffering from celiac/gluten intolerance.

Moreover, Cargill Inc., partnered with Starpro, a major food-grade tapioca starch manufacturer in Thailand. The partnership is aimed to expand its tapioca starch products in the Asia Pacific region to support food manufacturers' product processing needs while also meeting the sensory expectations of consumers.
