In this case study, a leading soft commodities trader (i.e. commodities that are grown rather than mined) engaged CPL Business Consultants to provide an overview of the market dynamics for ascorbic acid. CPL’s report included strategic recommendations on whether the client should enter the market as a trader.
The purpose of this study was to describe the dynamics of the ascorbic acid market to assist it in developing its strategy. This included information about markets, prices and trends, as well as a discussion of the potential future market growth. Ascorbic acid is mostly sold as a commodity product on price and specifications. However, there may still be some scope to differentiate and add value.
In this project the ‘ascorbic acid’ market also included sodium ascorbate, ascorbyl palmate and other similar offerings. Applications included pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, food and beverages, and animal feed premixes.
The report also included profiles of leading companies, technical aspects of product differentiation and estimates of profitability. CPL considered and discussed the barriers to entry and key success factors.
