In this case study, a food science company engaged CPL Business Consultants to look at potential opportunities from xylitol markets and manufacturing as part of its growth strategy.
The objective of this study was to provide our client with a technical and financial analysis of potential production routes to xylitol and to compare these routes with the current commercial procedure.
We also reported on the size and growth of the xylitol market, main applications, product prices, success factors and legislation.
CPL used its extensive network of contacts to obtain views on the industry, market volumes and growth, and public databases and scientific literature to report on production technologies.
