Description: INGR Ingredion November 03, 2025
Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR) manufactures and markets a broad portfolio of corn-derived ingredients-including sweeteners, starches, nutrition ingredients, and biomaterial solutions-serving food & beverage, paper, textile, construction, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and specialty industrial markets worldwide. Its product set spans everything from glucose syrups and high-fructose corn syrup to specialty starches for biodegradable plastics and water-filtration applications.
Key metrics and sector drivers: In fiscal 2023 the company generated roughly $6.5 billion in revenue with an adjusted EBITDA margin near 10 %, reflecting strong pricing power in high-growth “clean-label” and plant-based food segments. Ingredient demand is closely tied to corn commodity prices and global food-security trends, while end-market exposure to the expanding snack-and-convenience sector underpins volume growth. Additionally, Ingredion’s recent acquisitions in the specialty bioplastics space aim to capture a projected $45 billion market opportunity by 2030.
