In this case study, an ingredients company engaged CPL Business Consultants to analyse the market dynamics and opportunity for arabinogalactan in the context of other prebiotics. The objective was to determine the market opportunity for commercial arabinogalactan products in foods and dietary supplements. CPL provided insightful fact-based analysis, which informed the client’s decision-making process for its growth and diversification strategy. 

To determine the likelihood of commercial success, CPL answered the following questions: –

  1. Is the whole market for prebiotics taking off, growing and likely to continue for some time?
  2. How well are Inulin and FOS competing in that market?
  3. What progress are manufacturers making with their arabinogalactan products?
  4. How diverse is this market, and how attractive is it when considering factors like competition, growth, cost of entry etc.?
