The key objective for the study involved:

1. The market potential of Sapogenins paste (varying concentrations of hecogenin & tigogenin up to 95%) on both short & long term basis in China, Europe, USA and Mexico based on various ingredients it can substitute in Pharma, Food & other industries and thereby develop a robust strategy to penetrate into the market
2. Market potential break up by application industry and by regions, intellectual property rights & patent analysis, value chain analysis and Porter’s Five Forces analysis
3. Prospective customer analysis by application industry and region; annual consumption volume of existing alternatives, current issues in using the current alternatives, unmet need with respect to substitute based on parameters like price, performance, etc.

1. Methodology Adopted by MnM : MnM carried out a detailed search of the public domain and its own proprietary & non-proprietary database on sapogenins paste market to orient the project, develop the industry structure including, manufacturers/suppliers, distributors, customers, associations, regulatory authorities and allied stakeholders.
