In 2023, China led global cassava non-food uses with substantial volumes, followed by Cambodia and the Philippines. Emerging markets like Laos showed significant year-on-year growth. Noteworthy declines were seen in Brazil and Thailand, hinting at shifting dynamics. Countries such as Malaysia, Cuba, and the United States exhibited noteworthy increases, bolstered by local demand and industrial applications. Conversely, Belarus and South Korea faced steep declines, suggesting challenges in maintaining market share.
Future trends indicate a potential increase in cassava use for industrial purposes, particularly in biodegradable materials and biofuels. Strategic focus may shift towards enhancing production efficiency in top-growing regions, with an eye on sustainable practices.
