In this case study, an international ingredients company engaged CPL Business Consultants to analyse the market potential of raffinose in Japan and the EU for its growth strategy.
Objective
During the project, CPL obtained information on the use of raffinose and trends in raffinose consumption in Japan. We also identified customers, or applications, in Europe and estimated the time and cost of Novel Food approval.
Method
CPL’s contacts included six Japanese consumers and 57 retailers and manufacturers in Japan. We also contacted eight European-based Japanese supermarkets and food manufacturers. CPL used its in-house databases and publicly available sources to identify food and cosmetic applications for raffinose.
