Indonesian Cassava Starch Processing Equipment Market Booms, with Intelligence and Greenization as Mainstream Trends
January 20, 2026
As a major global cassava-producing region, Southeast Asia and Indonesia are experiencing a boom in the upgrading of cassava starch processing equipment. Domestically manufactured equipment is rapidly capturing market share thanks to its adaptability and cost-effectiveness, while intelligent and green technologies have become the core direction of the industry's transformation.
The Indonesian market is performing particularly strongly, with the number of newly built and renovated production lines surging by 28% year-on-year in 2025. The government offers a 30% to 50% subsidy for the purchase of small and medium-sized processing equipment, driving up the popularity of core equipment such as raspers and centrifugal separators. Local enterprises prefer modular production lines with a daily output of 10 to 30 tons, which are flexible enough to match the scattered raw material supply of smallholder farmers. Equipment integrated with DCS control systems ensures a stable starch extraction rate of over 95%. Closed-loop water treatment systems achieve 85% process water reuse, cutting unit energy consumption by 20% and meeting Indonesia’s strict environmental discharge standards. Cross-border suppliers, especially from China, are also ramping up exports of tailored solutions, further fueling the market’s growth momentum.
