In this case study, CPL was engaged to provide an overview of the market for food ingredients, which identified potential areas of opportunity for a client developing a specialist ingredients business.
Objective
The objective of this project was to assist a client in developing its plans to create an Ingredients Business Unit based, on its existing products and side streams, in order to capture more value. The client wanted to identify which ingredients and ingredient clusters would present the most attractive opportunities, given its current or potential technical capabilities and the best strategic approach to adopt in creating the new business unit. As the first stage in this process, CPL reported on a wide range of ingredient types and the nature of the businesses.
Method
Following a workshop with our client, CPL conducted internal brainstorming sessions and preliminary research to identify areas that warranted further analysis. The subsequent study focused on describing key characteristics of markets, such as size and growth rate, technologies currently in use, and an appraisal of the potential for our client in each area.
The report overview of the food ingredients market used data from public sources and databases, as well as contacts from across the sectors of interest to make recommendations.
