In addition, the growth in the baking industry and food service segments and the growing popularity of corn-based snack products are the other drivers for the market growth.Despite these growth drivers, the market faces challenges such as the fluctuations in corn supply that are affecting the prices and the other major challenge is the growing concerns over the consumption of genetically modified (GM) corn that are restricted in many regions such as the US and EU.Established vendors are forming partnerships and strategic alliances, and such trends are expected to gain prominence in the market.
