Increasing demand for low-caloric food products and large scale availability of affordable maltodextrin in emerging markets is fuelling the maltodextrin market. According to Future Market Insights’ new report, “Maltodextrin Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2015 - 2020”, the maltodextrin market is anticipated to amplify at a CAGR of 5.1% through 2020 and reach a valuation of US$ 3.39 Bn.

Maltodextrin’s bland taste and its texture- and viscosity- imparting properties make it an ideal choice for use in various products, ranging from margarine to fat-free dessert mixes. Maltodextrin’s resistance to high temperature and its high solubility make it a preferred choice for encapsulation of various fats, oils, and food acids.

Concerns about the potential side effects of food products containing excess maltodextrin can pose challenges for its widespread acceptance. Furthermore, the fact that maltodextrin is not a Specific Carbohydrate Diet Legal (SCD-legal) can restrain its demand globally.
