In this case study, a feed acidifiers company engaged CPL Business Consultants to examine its markets in the context of feed additives and make recommendations for a growth strategy, including suitable acquisition targets.
The study aimed to assist the client in developing its acidifier business in feed additives. It described the European feed acidifiers market and set this into its worldwide context. The study also identified potential acquisition candidates in feed additives.
The focus was on Western European markets. Initially, qualitative and quantitative data about the markets and trends are obtained. We compared data from varied sources and spoke to contacts to either confirm or question our findings and other reports. To assist us in forecasting future trends and developments, we reviewed the current technical literature on the use of organic acids and animal feed additives and spoke to academic and institutional contacts to obtain further information.
The objective was to obtain and convey an understanding of the business and its dynamics rather than to provide a comprehensive and detailed numerical picture of the market. As part of the project, we identified potential acquisition targets. These were characterised by a variety of methods. Opportunities and preliminary analysis of potential candidates are provided, along with recommendations concerning the best companies to consider further.
