Have a look at our PowerPoint Introduction and Brochure describing deliverables, differentiators and case studies. Eight case studies can also be reviewed.
Objective
The objective of this market study was to assist our client in understanding the value added in the manufacture of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC).
The client was interested in adding value to its current operations by entering the market for MCC and wished to gain a fuller understanding of pricing and manufacturing costs involved.
The purpose of this study was to assist the client by providing information on the manufacturing costs, current pricing and market demand for MCC.
Method
The main contents of the study were based on sources available to CPL in addition to publicly available information. These included annual reports, SEC filings, investor presentations, patents, information from the trade press and some inside information from industry contacts.
CPL contacted over 35 experts in the field as part of this work, although some would not comment on the costs involved in manufacturing MCC. Transcripts of conversations with 23 contacts are included in the report. The contacts were made in the EU and in North America.
Where possible the companies were contacted in order to obtain information on their organisations and their product ranges.
