COVID-19 Impact
Negative impact on the global pregelatinized starch market
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the food and beverages industry. The situation caused by the pandemic will certainly have an impact on the state of the industry globally. Grain processing enterprises have already encountered specific difficulties since this type of raw material (especially wheat) is increasing steadily in price, despite measures taken by the government. Disruptions in the supply of raw materials in connection with the closure of the borders of the regions are noted by producers who do not have their own storage facilities and who obtain raw materials in small quantities for specific orders. However, with government supporting the production of essential food products and ease in restrictions, the pregelatinized starch market is expected to witness low to moderate impact in the near term.
