In this case study, a global protein supplier engaged CPL Business Consultants to investigate the market for collagen bioinks. CPL provided a detailed, fact-based view of the market including strategic recommendations on if, and how, to approach it. The client was therefore able to make an informed decision on entering the market.

Bioprinting is the fabrication of 3D tissue (or ‘4D’) constructs using biomaterials and/or living cells deposited/crosslinked using a ‘bioprinter’. Bioinks are optimized mixtures of solution matrices containing carrier molecules and additional supporting agents. Collagen bioinks are compatible with a wide range of bioprinting protocols with applications e.g. in regenerative medicine, organ transplants and in-vitro modelling.  The market is developing rapidly with a number of competing technologies for bioprinting and a large number of differentiated products.

CPL examined the competitive landscape including detailed information on the products, prices, competing players and key success factors. The report contained strategic recommendations on how to approach the market.
