In this case study, a global food ingredients company engaged CPL Business Consultants to assess the ingredients market for polyphenols from olive fruits (e.g. hydroxytyrosol) as a potential opportunity for its health ingredients platform. 

Hydroxytyrosol and Olive Polyphenols

Olive oil polyphenols, e.g. hydroxytyrosol, contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. The objective of this project was to assess potential opportunities in health ingredients based on polyphenol-containing extracts from olives for use in foods, beverages, dietary supplements and cosmetics.

In considering each opportunity CPL attempted to determine the following: –

  1. Approximate market size, characteristics (including possible competitive products), trends and likely future potential
  2. Key players with an IP/technology position
  3. Main success factors and barriers to entry of successful key players
  4. Potential partner and acquisition targets (either key players with IP/technology or good science-based ‘other’ players with good products)
  5. Key market segments in terms of applications or health conditions targeted
  6. Associated health benefits
  7. Scientific substantiation
  8. Possible use of the polyphenol as a technological antioxidant
