The global damaged starch analyzers market is on track to grow from USD 162 billion in 2025 to USD 282.0 billion by 2035, registering a 5.7% CAGR, according to the latest industry assessment. Demand is accelerating across flour milling, industrial baking, pharmaceutical excipient testing, and agricultural research, as manufacturers tighten quality protocols and shift toward automated, audit-ready lab systems.
A major structural driver behind this surge is the rising need for consistent starch damage measurement, which directly affects dough absorption, fermentation dynamics, crumb uniformity, and tablet performance. Automated analyzers integrating LIMS connectivity, multi-method testing, and on-instrument calibration have moved to the forefront as producers face stricter documentation and traceability requirements.
