The modified starch price per unit in Italy has shown fluctuations over the years. From 2010 to 2015, prices generally trended upward, peaking in 2014 at €0.94/kg before dropping to €0.75/kg by 2016. A slight rise occurred from 2017 to 2019, with a notable increase in 2019 to €0.87/kg. However, prices dropped again in 2020 to €0.76/kg. Thus, from 2018 to 2020, we observe minimal changes, but the long-term trend still indicates a general increase from the beginning of the series until 2020.

For future trends, watch for:

Potential impacts of global supply chain disruptions on starch pricing.
Increased demand for modified starch in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Emerging regulations affecting starch production and use, which may influence prices.
