Rice starch is a type of starch that is extracted from rice grains. It is a carbohydrate-based powder that consists of small granules. Starch is the primary energy storage molecule in plants, and it serves as a source of nutrition for humans as well. Rice starch is obtained by processing rice grains, typically by washing, grinding, and separating the starch from other components such as protein, fiber, and fats. The resulting starch is a white, odorless, and tasteless powder. Rice starch is characterized by very small granules in the range of 2-8 μm, being much smaller than those of other cereals, tubers and roots, such as corn and potato. Its granule size is comparable to the size of fat globules, therefore ideally suited to mimic a full bodied fatty mouthfeel. It provides creamy textures and can serve as natural fat replacer. In 2024, global Rice Starch production reached approximately 133 K MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 2000 per MT.

Rice starch is a fine, white, odorless powder obtained from rice, consisting primarily of amylose and amylopectin. It is valued for its small granule size, smooth texture, neutral taste, and hypoallergenic properties, making it suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. Compared with other starches, rice starch provides a unique creamy mouthfeel and translucency, which is particularly useful in baby food, sauces, desserts, and premium confectionery. The global production capacity is approximately 172,000 tons, with a gross profit margin of 11%–23%. Typical single-line production facilities range between 1,000 and 2,000 tons.
The industry chain begins upstream with rice cultivation and milling, where broken rice or rice byproducts are often used as feedstock. In the midstream, the starch is extracted through steeping, grinding, and separation processes, followed by purification, drying, and modification depending on the intended application. Downstream, rice starch finds its way into diverse industries: food manufacturers use it as a thickener, stabilizer, or fat replacer; pharmaceutical companies apply it as a binder or disintegrant in tablets; and cosmetic producers employ it as a natural, skin-friendly alternative to talc. The supply chain benefits from integration in rice-growing regions, though it requires strict quality control to ensure purity and consistency for sensitive end uses.

Market drivers include rising consumer demand for clean-label and allergen-free ingredients, particularly in infant nutrition and premium food products, where rice starch offers a natural, non-GMO, and gluten-free option. Growth in cosmetics and personal care is also significant, as rice starch is increasingly used in powders, creams, and dry shampoos for its absorbent and smoothening properties. Additionally, the shift toward sustainable and plant-based raw materials in pharmaceuticals and food industries enhances its market appeal. Demand is further supported by innovation in modified rice starches, which improve functionality in processed foods and industrial applications.
However, the market faces challenges such as high production costs compared with more common starches like corn or tapioca, limiting its competitiveness in cost-sensitive segments. Availability of rice as a raw material is also subject to agricultural volatility, including weather conditions and trade restrictions in key producing countries. Furthermore, the niche scale of production capacity, combined with the technical requirements for consistent quality, makes it difficult for smaller producers to achieve economies of scale. These factors contribute to moderate but steady growth, with the market positioned more toward specialty applications rather than bulk commodity starch markets.
