Technavio’s food and beverage analysts categorize the global processed potatoes market into five major segments by product type. They are:
- Potato flakes
- Potato chips
- Potato starch
- Frozen French fries
- Others
The top three product segments for the global processed potatoes market are:
Global potato chips market
The global potato chips market has been witnessing steady growth over the past few years. Initially, potato chips were available only in certain flavors. However, to attract new customers, the market vendors are now offering potato chips in different flavors such as cinnamon, cheddar, and jalapeno. Hand-made or artisanal potato chips have emerged as a new interesting product.
According to Manjunath Reddy, a lead food research analyst from Technavio, “The potato chips segment accounts for a major share of the global processed potatoes market. The availability of less or no oily chips due to advances in processing technology has resulted in the increased demand for chips among health-conscious people.”
Global potato flakes market
The demand for potato flakes is rising owing to their extensive use in a wide range of products such as instant mashed potatoes, pasta, croquettes, and fabricated snacks. They are used as thickeners in creamy frozen desserts, chocolate milk, and gravies. They are also used as substitutes for cornstarch and wheat flour to add volume to soups, sauces, stews, and broths.
“Potato flakes are used as binding agents in meat, fish or vegetable patties, and sausages. They are used to increase the shelf life of baked products as they retain water better than flours. Also, because of the subtle earthy flavor of potato flakes, they are widely used in bread, muffins, and cakes,” says Manjunath.
Global potato starch market
Potato starch is gluten free and is very useful for people with gluten intolerance or wheat sensitivity. Potato starch also aids in lowering plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, increases satiety, and even reduces fat storage. Due to its gluten-free characteristic and health benefits, food manufacturers use it in manufacturing a wide range of gluten-free, low-calorie, and low-fat foods.
Potato starch is being increasingly used in making noodles, hot dog sausages, and instant soups owing to its gluten-free nature. In the industrial sector, potato starch is a 100% biodegradable substitute for polystyrene and other plastics and used widely in disposable plates, dishes, and knives.
