Asia
Potato starch prices in Asia followed a stable-to-firm trend in Q1’26, supported by consistent demand and rising compliance and logistics costs. In China, regulatory changes became a key factor, as the updated edible starch standard came into effect on March 16, 2026, increasing compliance requirements for producers and raising processing costs. This added upward pressure despite stable potato availability. Demand from noodles, sauces, and processed foods remained steady, while higher freight and energy costs linked to global shipping disruptions supported firm pricing toward the end of the quarter.
Europe
Potato starch prices in Europe showed a firm trend in Q1’26, supported by stable feedstock availability and steady downstream demand. The region’s strong production base remained intact, ensuring adequate raw material supply for starch processing. However, energy-intensive processing and storage costs supported upward pressure. Trade flows showed weaker import activity, with EU agri-food imports declining by 7% month-on-month in January 2026, indicating softer inflows and supporting domestic market balance. Demand from food processing, paper, and industrial applications remained consistent, sustaining the firm trend.
North America
Potato starch prices in North America remained stable to slightly firm in Q1’26, supported by adequate potato stocks and steady downstream demand. Supply conditions remained balanced as storage levels across major producing states ensured consistent feedstock availability. However, higher logistics and processing costs added pressure, while stable demand from food, clean-label ingredients, and industrial applications maintained consumption levels. Domestic supply reduced exposure to global trade disruption, though higher freight costs indirectly influenced market sentiment.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, potato starch prices are expected to remain stable to firm as steady demand and processing costs continue to support the market, while improved supply conditions may limit sharper increases.

Asia
Potato starch prices in Asia moved downward during the second half of 2025, driven by a significant easing in feedstock costs across key producing markets. In India, potato prices registered deflation during the period, improving raw material access for starch processors supplying the food, pharmaceutical, and textile sizing sectors. The correction followed a period of elevated prices in the prior year, when weather related shocks had constrained starch extraction volumes considerably. With feedstock availability improving, processors serving bakery, noodle, and modified starch end users operated under more comfortable input cost conditions, building downward pressure along the Potato Starch price curve. Demand from industrial starch consumers, including paper coating and corrugating board manufacturers, remained steady but was insufficient to fully absorb the supply side relief.
Europe
In H2’25, potato starch prices softened in the European region, largely reflecting a bumper harvest across key producing nations. Germany recorded its largest potato crop in 25 years, with output well above the multi-year average, improving feedstock economics for starch manufacturers supplying the region's food thickening, confectionery, and biodegradable packaging sectors. At the EU level, potato prices fell sharply, easing procurement costs for processors producing native and modified starch grades used in soups, sauces, and meat processing applications. Trade flows within the bloc remained active, with demand from the frozen food and snack manufacturing industries continuing to support consumption of potato derived starch ingredients across major end use markets.
North America
Potato starch market conditions in North America during H2’25 were shaped by a large US potato crop and declining feedstock prices, which eased input costs for starch processors supplying the food service, ready meal, and industrial adhesive sectors. Demand for potato starch in clean label and gluten-free food formulations remained steady, supporting consumption volumes even as overall feedstock prices trended lower. Trade tensions with Canada introduced uncertainty around input costs, including fertilisers and crop inputs, adding complexity to procurement planning for processors and starch converters operating across the region.
Potato Starch is basically starch that is derived from potatoes. Potato Starch comprises of large oval, spherical granules that are found in different range or size, generally between 5 and 100 μm. Potato starch is a very refined starch composed of minimal protein or fat, which gives it a bright white colour. This powder has a high binding strength, reasonable viscosity and a minimal foaming capacity.

To produce starch, firstly potatoes are crushed. Then, these crushed potatoes are used to release the starch grains from their destroyed cells. Finally, the starch is washed out and dried to powdered form, thus, resulting in the formation of Potato Starch.
