A global food ingredients company required insights into specific parts of the rice-based ingredients market. This information was required to inform its business planning strategy when integrating the product portfolio of a recent acquisition. CPL was able to provide in-depth market information on specific areas of interest.
Objective
The objective of this project was to provide insight to a client on the market for rice-based ingredients.
Background
The client was a global company which wanted to accelerate the growth of its rice product lines rapidly. It required a view of the potential rice ingredient market (i.e. flour, starch and protein) in EMEA. This included an understanding of how the industry is segmented, what the key success factors are, the overall potential for the business, existing opportunities and gaps which could be filled.
Method
The scope of the project was products derived from rice including:
- Glutinous/waxy Rice Starch and Rice Flour
- Modified Rice Starches
- Rice Proteins (including isolates)
The sector scope was:
- Food (including infant nutrition etc.)
- Personal Care
The project covered the market dynamics for rice based ingredients including:
- Market trends (e.g. in the use of gluten free ingredients across different product sectors)
- Players in the market and competing products (direct, indirect and potential), including differentiation, positioning and IP
- Recent research and developments
- End users (customers and their needs, market gaps)
- Key Success Factors and Barriers to Entry
This included a qualitative segmentation by ingredient type, application, geography and customers. The final report was 341 pages with 143 tables and 50 figures and contained the following sections:
