In this case study a manufacturing company engaged CPL Business Consultants to investigate the market potential for natural and sustainable vanillin. CPL’s detailed analysis included recommendations on the attractiveness of the market and strategic options for the client.
Vanillin is an aromatic aldehyde found in vanilla pods and is the major constituent of vanilla extract. However, it can also be produced synthetically by chemical synthesis and biologically through bioconversion and precision fermentation using a range of natural feedstocks.
Given the historic fluctuations in supply, price volatility and questions around the sustainability of vanilla, interest in natural vanillin from precision fermentation and sustainable chemical synthesis has increased.
CPL’s detailed report covered the market dynamics, competition, products, prices, applications, and the production technologies used to produce vanillin. The aim was to build up a detailed picture upon which an investment decision could be made.
An outline of the report structure is included below and can also be downloaded as a PDF here. Please contact CPL Business Consultants for more information on our strategy engagements in food ingredients, biotechnology, and precision fermentation.

In addition to this project on the market for sustainable and natural vanillin has worked extensively on precision fermentation and synthesis of nature identical ingredients. This, for example, has included work on a Precision Fermentation Technical Due Diligence and precision fermentation for chymosin, sebacic acid, and Rebaudioside M.
