An established ingredients company wanted to launch a new health ingredient product line and engaged CPL Business Consultants to produce a go-to-market strategy. CPL produced a plan outlining where and how the client should approach the market, leading to a successful launch.

Objective

The objective of this study was to provide the client with a strategy to find the optimum market for its range of products, specifically in the Asian market.

Method

The main contents of the study were based on sources including in-house databases and an extensive network of contacts in addition to publicly available information (e.g. data from government agencies, patents, scientific journals, trade press, internet etc.). Additional information was obtained from other key resources within the health ingredient industry in sufficient depth to provide accurate analysis and guidance.

CPL used its extensive network of contacts to elicit information that would be difficult or impossible for clients to obtain independently. Interviews were conducted with those knowledgeable in health ingredients, both face-to-face and web/telephone conversations. Contacts were also made at trade shows.

The report consisted of two parts, the summary report and the reference report, to provide the essence of CPL’s findings along with our recommendations, followed by detailed data sources and analysis.
