The Europe Middle East and Africa maltodextrin market accounts for over a quarter of the global maltodextrin production, with Western Europe contributing to a fifth of its output, producing 0.735 million metric tons between 2017-2018. The region also leads in the consumption of the polysaccharide after North America. Western Europe, especially, is a significant consumer, consuming a quarter of the total maltodextrin produced globally.

The maltodextrin market is dependent on its various feedstock. Europe is the leading potato producing region, which is a major maltodextrin feedstock. Thus, maltodextrin is produced from potato along with wheat in Europe. Egypt and Nigeria import maltodextrin generally from Asian countries like China and India. With a stagnant production of corn, a leading feedstock, Egypt imports corn from countries like Ukraine, Argentina, and Brazil. Ukraine was the major exporter of corn to Egypt between October 2016 to July 2017, exporting 3.34 million metric tons of corn to the African country.

Properties and Applications

Maltodextrin is derived from starch through the process of partial hydrolysis. It is a polysaccharide that is easily digested and, like glucose, is rapidly absorbed by the body. Its flavour varies from being mildly sweet to being almost devoid of any taste. It is used as a food additive in food products like candy, ice-creams, infant foods, energy drinks, and soft drinks. Food and beverage, pharmaceutical, health and personal care, and agriculture sectors, among others, are the common application sectors for maltodextrin. It is derived from the following feedstock:
