In this case study, CPL Business Consultants examined the dynamics of the global pectin market for a food ingredients company. Additionally, the project aimed to establish if this market was attractive for the client to enter as part of their business growth strategy.
The pectin business is part of a competitive global market. This is because a substantial portion of pectin sales are into low-value, highly price-sensitive commodities. However, some sectors of the pectin business have the potential to be speciality businesses. In these markets, pectin can be differentiated by source and also tailored to specific functions. Pectin can also be used in combination with other hydrocolloids to obtain additional functionalities.
Objective
The objective of this study was to provide an overview of the global market for pectin and to establish the attractiveness of the market.
