Vegetable-derived Health Ingredient Market

In this case study, CPL Business Consultants reviewed the markets for specific vegetable-derived or plant-based health ingredients.

CPL’s client was investigating the market for active health ingredients derived from vegetables, namely pumpkins, turmeric, spirulina, tomatoes and carrots. As a result, it required information on the market landscape for these products.

We provided the client with a synopsis of the market to support its decision-making process as part of its new product development strategy. An outline of the report is below.
