The global Cationic Starch market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1041 million in 2025 to US$ 1290 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2025 to 2031.
Cationic starch is a specialized type of modified starch that undergoes chemical treatment to introduce cationic (positively charged) functional groups. This modification significantly enhances its performance characteristics, allowing it to interact effectively with other substances. Cationic starch is prized for its ability to improve adhesion, provide excellent thickening capabilities, and enhance binding properties. These attributes make it particularly valuable in the paper and textile industries, where it is used to improve the quality and durability of products. In addition to its industrial applications, cationic starch is also utilized in the food sector as a stabilizer and emulsifier, contributing to the texture and shelf stability of various food products. Its versatility and effectiveness in enhancing product performance have made cationic starch an essential ingredient across multiple sectors.
