In this case study a global animal health and nutrition company engaged CPL Business consultants to assess the fishmeal protein replacement market. CPL made strategic recommendations on where the client could play and innovate in this market.
A major future challenge for aquaculture and animal production is the availability of fishmeal as a protein source for feed. This is because fishmeal production from reduction fisheries is limited by fishing quotas and cannot meet rising demand. The industry is therefore looking at alternative and innovative sources of alternative proteins for fishmeal substitution, for example from plants, insects, algae, yeast, fungi and bacteria. Major players such as Skettring are meeting this challenge by including a broader range of proteins in their feed.
This report detailed the fishmeal replacement landscape for aquafeed and animal feed including, for example, areas to participate in and the room for innovation. Additionally, the project reviewed the companies operating in this sector and the financial basis (e.g. cost projections, market share, volumes and values). CPL also recommended specific areas in which its client could participate and outlined the key capabilities required for market entry.
The topics covered in the report are outlined below, you can also download a PDF copy. Please contact CPL Business Consultants for further details of our work in alternative proteins for animal feed, aquaculture and human nutrition.
