The objective of the study was to assist the client in developing the acidifier business in feed additives. The study describes the European feed acidifiers market and sets this into its world-wide context. The study also identified potential acquisition candidates in feed additives.
The focus of the study was on Western European markets. The deliverables agreed were: – Market Analysis; Market Size by segment; Market Forecasts; Drivers and Restraints; Market Structure and Value Chain: Market Participants/Players; Competitive Environment including Key Barriers to Market Entry; Trends influencing Key Customers Groups; Customer Profitability; and Acquisition possibilities.
Initially, qualitative and quantitative data about the markets and trends are obtained. We were able to compare data from varied sources and contacts to either confirm or question our findings and other reports. To assist us in forecasting future trends and developments in this sector, we reviewed some of the current technical literature on the use of organic acids and other additions to animal feed and to make some academic and institutional contacts for further information.
The objective was to obtain, and to 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.
