The market research report titled Maize (Corn) Products in India (Starch, Glucose, Dextrose, Sorbitol) Trends, Opportunities, Market Analysis and Forecasts (Upto 2017)’ released by Niir Project Consultancy Services, provides a comprehensive analysis on Indian maize products industry. Starch, Glucose, Dextrose and Sorbitol are maize products covered in this report. The report starts with a brief on the global scenario of maize and then proceeds to analyze the Indian scenario. The report provides an overview on Maize as a crop giving information about its soil suitability, sowing seasons and the types of maize that are produced in the nation. Maize is one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world. It is also one of the most important cereal crops globally and in India it is the third most important crop after rice and wheat. The suitability of maize to diverse environments is unmatched by any other crop and even every part of the maize plant has economic value: the grain, leaves, stalk, tassel, and cob can all be used to produce a large variety of food and non-food products. As it has yield potential far higher than any other cereal, it is sometimes referred to as the miracle crop or the ‘Queen of Cereals’.
It further explains the ways by which maize can be processed and the byproducts after such processes. Maize can be processed by two ways: Dry Milling and Wet Milling. Dry milling of maize produces corn meal, grits, germ and animal feed and wet milling produces starch, gluten and husk. These byproducts of maize processing are used in industries like paper, textiles, pharmaceutical and food & confectionary. Half of the maize in India is consumed as poultry feed, ~1/5 for human consumption and the rest is consumed for starch production, as cattle feed and in breweries.
The report provides detailed analysis of the industry by covering areas like growth drivers, trends in the industry as well as the SWOT analysis of the industry. Growth in the consumption of maize products will be majorly driven by the starch segment. Starch industry is often termed as sunrise sector of the nation apparently because of its widespread applicability across various industries. Maize starch in India is used relentlessly in paper, textile, pharma and food industry. The growth in these consumer industries will evidently be felt in the starch sector also. The report elucidates important numbers and forecasts of the consumer industries for better understanding. Also rising demand from the poultry sector will drive the volumes for maize products.
One of the trends that have been experienced in the industry is the innovative use of corn starch. Applications of corn starch are not just limited to the industries mentioned above; it has found its relevance in products like bags and car parts. Usage of corn starch bags is rising in India on the back of it being bio-degradable and hence environment friendly. They can also handle more weight and have longer shelf life. Corn starch is also being used in manufacturing of car parts to enhance the car safety aspects. Other trends are emergence of corn oil as an edible oil and also production of ethanol from corn.
The report enhances your understanding of the market by giving detailed SWOT analysis. The industry’s biggest strength is the ready available market for its products. Growing population of India coupled with unavoidable usage of maize products in various industries keeps demand high. Abundant availability of its key raw material i.e. Maize in the country is an added advantage for the industry. Area under maize has grown at a CAGR of 2% during 2007-12 whereas production has grown at a CAGR of ~7.5% during the same period. Indian production of maize in 2013-14 could reach 25 million tonnes owing to adequate monsoon which may trigger higher acreage across growing states. India’s per capita consumption of starch is also very low when compared to developed economies like US and China. India with its huge population base and low consumption levels offers a massive opportunity for the starch companies to capture. And since most of the starch in India is produced by maize, maize processing companies have sufficient pie of the market to capture. Growing urbanization, changing consumer preferences and rising disposable incomes are another bunch of opportunities for the incumbents. The industry however is faced with challenges like growing competition in the sector and raw material fluctuations. The industry’s raw material being agricultural in nature is subject to price fluctuations as well as production uncertainty.   The report provides an overview on the technical side of the industry by elucidating the list of machinery required for maize processing plant.
The report further provides you with scrutiny of demand supply scenario in the industry along with the market forecasts. The demand for processed maize products can be established by the growth in the maize consumption. Maize has varied applications and is consumed by several industries which process it and produce its byproducts. India’s consumption of maize has been rising at a CAGR of ~6% during 2006-07 to 2011-12 and we anticipate this consumption rate to continue in the near future and maize consumption will rise to 25.2 million tonnes by 2016-17E. The report also includes sales data of starch, glucose, dextrose and sorbitol by selected producers. The report presents the supply side with help of upcoming projects of the present players. It also offers total starch production numbers along with production numbers of starch, dextrose, glucose and sorbitol by some major players.
The report also provides key player profiles along with key financials and comparison. The report covers companies like Anil Ltd, Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd, Tirupati Starch & Chemicals Ltd and Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd in detail. The report shares vital information like shareholding pattern, revenue mix, plant location and financial summary of the aforesaid companies. The next segment provides complete financial comparison of maize processing companies as well as feed companies.
Various changes in the Indian spending patterns as well as consumption boom in the nation have given maize products increased applicability and hence the demand for maize products is ascending. Maize processing in India is fragmented and quite unorganized which limits us to capture the exact size of the industry.   Industry in the past has grown at a healthy rate and we estimate it to continue its ride at the same velocity. We anticipate the maize consumption to rise to 25.2 million tonnes by 2016-17E.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Maize (Botanical name: Zea Mays L) is one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world. It is also one of the most important cereal crops globally and in India it is the third most important crop after rice and wheat.  Maize, also known as corn, is a versatile crop grown over a range of agro climatic zones. In fact the suitability of maize to diverse environments is unmatched by any other crop and even every part of the maize plant has economic value: the grain, leaves, stalk, tassel, and cob can all be used to produce a large variety of food and non-food products. As it has yield potential far higher than any other cereal, it is sometimes referred to as the miracle crop or the ‘Queen of Cereals’.

Maize is processed to different products which serve industries like Paper, Textile, Pharmaceutical, Poultry and Food & Confectionary.

Trends:

·         Emergence of Corn oil

·         Corn to Ethanol

·        Innovation uses of corn starch

The growth in the consumer industries on the back of low consumption, higher disposable incomes and evolving consumer tastes will trickle down to the maize processing industry. Various changes in the Indian spending patterns as well as consumption boom in the nation have given maize products increased applicability and hence the demand for maize products is ascending.  Maize processing in India is fragmented and quite unorganized which limits us to capture the exact size of the industry.   Industry in the past has grown at a healthy rate and we estimate it to continue its ride at the same velocity. We anticipate the maize consumption to rise to 25.2 million tonnes by 2016-17E.

1.     OVERVIEW

Maize (Botanical name: Zea Mays L) is one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world. It is also one of the most important cereal crops globally and in India it is the third most important crop after rice and wheat. 

Maize, also known as corn, is a versatile crop grown over a range of agro climatic zones. In fact the suitability of maize to diverse environments is unmatched by any other crop and even every part of the maize plant has economic value: the grain, leaves, stalk, tassel, and cob can all be used to produce a large variety of food and non-food products. As it has yield potential far higher than any other cereal, it is sometimes referred to as the miracle crop or the ‘Queen of Cereals’.

The Global Scenario

In 2011-12, world maize production stood at 854 million tonnes. US dominates the world production of maize with nearly 37% of the total production, followed by China at ~21%. World maize production was estimated to be 950 million tons for 2012-2013, an increase of ~11% from 2011-2012. The chart below demonstrates the share of top maize producing countries in world maize production.

The Indian Scenario

Maize in India is an important cereal, and both the area under cultivation and production levels have steadily increased during the past two decades. In India, it is mainly used for poultry feed.

In India, the major maize producing areas are Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.

Soils

Maize  can  be  grown  successfully  in  variety  of  soils  ranging  from  loamy  sand  to  clay  loam. However, soils with good organic matter content having high water holding capacity with neutral pH are considered good for higher productivity.  Being  a  sensitive  crop  to  moisture  stress particularly  excess  soil  moisture  and  salinity  stresses;  it  is  desirable  to  avoid  low  lying  fields having  poor  drainage  and  also  the  field  having  higher  salinity.  Therefore, the fields having provision of proper drainage should be selected for cultivation of maize.

Time of sowing

Maize  can  be  grown  in  all  seasons  viz;  Kharif  (monsoon),  post  monsoon,  Rabi  (winter)  and spring.  During  Rabi  and  spring  seasons  to  achieve  higher  yield  at  farmer’s  field,  assured irrigation  facilities  are  required.  During  Kharif    season  it  is  desirable  to  complete  the  sowing  operation  12-15 days  before the onset of monsoon. However, in rainfed areas, the sowing time should be coincided with onset of monsoon.

 

Uses of Maize in India

Maize has varied uses in India, varying from feed to industrial products. The crop is primarily, more than 50%, used for poultry feed, nearly one-fifth used for human consumption (Food) and the rest is used in breweries as well as for industrial products. It is used as a basic raw material for the production of starch, oil and protein, alcoholic beverages, food sweeteners and, more recently, fuel. The chart below demonstrates the consumption pattern of corn in India.

Maize which is not used for feed or human consumption is processed to obtain its by-products which acts as a raw material for different industries. Of lately maize processing has gathered momentum in India and is gaining importance in the associated industries. The most common industrial by product of maize is starch or corn starch or corn flour.

 

 

1.1           MAIZE PROCESSING METHODS & BY PRODUCTS

Maize can be processed in two ways- dry milling and wet milling.

Dry Milling

In dry corn milling, the corn or Maize is tempered and cleaned with hot water and steamed for about 2-6 hours to soften the bran and the germ so that it becomes easier for them to be separated from the endosperm. The coarse, granular material is sifted using a sifter machine and then the miller extracts the oil and the corn flour from the kernel.

Wet Milling

The process begins with the corn kernels being soaked in large tanks called steep tanks in a dilute aqueous sulfur dioxide solution. The softened kernel is then processed to remove the germ which is further processed to remove the high-value corn oil. The Germ Meal remaining after the oil is extracted and marketed for animal feed use.

Following germ removal, the remaining kernel components are screened to remove the fiber. The fiber is combined with the evaporated, concentrated and dried steep liquor and other co-product streams to produce Corn Gluten Feed. The starch and gluten protein subsequently pass through the screens and the starch-gluten slurry is sent to centrifugal separators where the lighter gluten protein and the heavier starch are separated. The gluten protein is then concentrated and dried to produce Corn Gluten Meal, a 60% protein feed.

Some of the starch is then washed and dried or modified and dried. These starch products are marketed to the food, paper, and textile industries. The remaining starch can be processed into products such as sweeteners or ethanol. While the wet milling process is capital intensive with higher operating costs, the ability to produce a variety of products can be valuable in dealing with volatile markets. The wet milling process results in slightly lower ethanol yields than a traditional dry milling process since some of the fermentable starch exits the process attached to the saleable co-products.
