Client’s business situation
At a macro level, our client’s business faced uncertainties like fluctuating demand and irregular rise and fall in the prices of commodities, raw materials, and input fuels. The industry is, by nature, seasonal and subject to crop growth and harvest cycles. The client needed to step up installed capacity to tap additional growth opportunities, especially in the core segments. Getting more traction in the nutrition market was top of mind for the client.
Our client operates mostly in the downstream sector of the food business where competition is stiff. In recent times, competitors launched new products and formulations. The client also needed to expand the footprint for clinical nutrition products in high-growth regions, namely, APAC (excluding China), China, Europe, North America (NA), LatAm, as well as Middle East & Africa (MEA). This called for tighter integration and collaboration with upstream raw material and ingredient manufacturers and bolstering distributor networks.
The client’s teams stood at the cusp of new growth opportunities, but they faced several challenges. So, the company turned to our experts for assistance in dealing with the difficult business scenario. Broadly, the client looked for the following outcomes from our research:
- Estimation of the market size for specific nutrition products, 2020 to 2025
- Assessment of market opportunities across APAC, China, Europe, NA, LatAm, and MEA
- Evaluation of the offerings and strategies of top competitors in the market
