From Laboratory to Market: Scaling a Plant-Based Bioactive
A technical, economic and commercial roadmap towards pilot production and industrial adoption.
Challenge
The research team had validated a laboratory-scale process for producing a bioactive compound of nutraceutical interest. The challenge was to assess its market fit, identify applications, customers and competitors, and define a scale-up pathway towards technically and economically viable production.
Solution
The bioactive’s positioning against existing commercial alternatives was assessed, identifying suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and potential adopters. In parallel, the requirements of the complete production process were analysed, and a gradual strategy was defined to validate the product, obtain pilot samples and reduce technical, economic and commercial risks before scale-up.
Result
The innovation now has a structured pathway towards the market. The next technical, economic and commercial steps were defined, stakeholders capable of supporting scale-up were identified, and a gradual strategy was established to validate the product with potential customers before committing industrial resources.
