The Global Potato & Yam Derivatives Market size is expected to reach $781.9 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 3.5% CAGR during the forecast period.
Due to increased health concerns and the notion that diet directly impacts health, functional foods, and dietary supplements have become more popular recently, thus, demand for plant proteins has grown. Consequently, the protein segment captured $42,508.1 million revenue in 2022. The growing vegan population worldwide also contributes to the protein segment’s expansion. These products have health advantages like glycemic control, fasting plasma triglyceride & cholesterol level regulation, and mineral absorption. Some of the factors impacting the market are rise in demand from the processing sector, increased health benefits, and price fluctuations and supply chain bottlenecks.
In addition to serving as a vegetable for home cooking, potatoes have many other uses. Less than half of the potatoes that are cultivated worldwide are eaten fresh. The remaining is converted into starch for the industry and food products and ingredients made from potatoes given to poultry, pigs, and cattle. Fresh potatoes are becoming less popular as processed, added-value foods take their place. Frozen potatoes comprise most of the French fries offered in restaurants and fast-food chains worldwide and are one of the key commodities in that category. The potato crisp is another processed tenderness that rules the snack food industry in many nations. Moreover, the demand for yam derivatives is rising globally as consumers become more aware of their health benefits. Yams have several health advantages, including the fact that they are nutrient-rich and include vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, manganese, copper, and fiber. Yam reduces the symptoms of inflammation and aids in brain function improvement. They include a special substance known as diosgenin, which has been shown to encourage neuron growth, and stop the progression of osteoporosis arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, it aids in keeping cholesterol levels stable. This wide usage in the food processing sector and health advantages provided by potato & yam derivatives raise the demand for potato & yam derivatives, leading to market growth.
However, the limited labour supply, logistical problems, and raw product shortage hamper this market’s growth. Furthermore, supply chain bottlenecks caused by fluctuating raw material costs may hamper the market. Disruptions and bottlenecks in the supply chain can significantly impact market growth by limiting the availability of potato & yam derivatives. Supply chain bottlenecks, such as shortages of raw materials or components, can hamper production capabilities. Therefore, rapid and unpredictable changes in prices can create uncertainty and are predicted to hinder market growth during the projection period.

The shift toward healthier eating habits has strongly influenced the increased demand for sweet potatoes as a key ingredient in nutritious and balanced meals.

This is due to the region’s high potential for producing potatoes and favorable farming conditions for various tuber categories. The European market is expanding due to increasing home consumption and the region’s growing use of potatoes in processing. The region’s rising intake of nutritious food is another cause of the growth.
