In this case study, a global ingredients company engaged CPL Business Consultants to look at the B2B market for extracts containing cranberry polyphenols.  CPL’s report was used as a basis of discussion for a diversification and growth strategy in added-value ingredient products.

Cranberry Polyphenols

Objective & Method

Cranberry polyphenols have gained importance as ingredients for food and supplements as evidence has been gathered demonstrating health benefits, particularly for urinary tract health. The objective of this project was to assess potential opportunities in health ingredients based on cranberry polyphenols to help our client understand more about potential opportunities in different applications.

In considering each opportunity we aimed to determine the following: –

  1. Approximate market size, characteristics (including possible competitive products), trends and likely future potential
  2. Key players with an IP/technology position
  3. Main success factors and barriers to entry of successful key players
  4. Potential partner and acquisition targets (either key players with IP/technology or good science-based ‘other’ players with good products)
  5. Key market segments in terms of applications or health conditions targeted
  6. Associated health benefits
  7. Scientific substantiation
  8. Possible use of the polyphenol (or the extract) as a technological antioxidant
