Enhancing meat performance: A study of protein-based solutions in U.S. pork and poultry processing.

The project provided a clear view of how protein-based solutions influence yield, texture, and efficiency, enabling the client to focus on priority processors, refine messaging, and drive adoption in U.S. meat and poultry operations.

Outcome

  • A clear understanding of how protein-based solutions compare with traditional systems, supporting more effective commercial messaging and value communication.
  • Identification of high-potential processor segments and tailored value propositions, enabling focused sales efforts and alignment with customer needs.
  • Improved insight into barriers and decision-making priorities, allowing the client to engage customers more effectively and prioritize applications with the greatest impact.

KEY INTELLIGENCE OBJECTIVES

  • Assess the role of functional proteins in meat and poultry processing, including yield, binding, and texture enhancement.
  • Compare protein-based solutions with traditional additives (e.g., phosphates) on performance, cost, and formulation impact.
  • Analyze demand patterns across meat processors, identifying key customer archetypes to guide targeted sales and account prioritization.
  • Identify adoption drivers and barriers, including label requirements, cost pressures, operational constraints, and regulatory considerations.
  • Examine formulation strategies and integration of functional proteins into existing processing workflows.
  • Map customer organizations, highlighting stakeholders (R&D, QA, procurement, operations) and their influence on purchasing decisions.
  • Evaluate the purchasing process and decision criteria to improve sales funnel management and conversion effectiveness.
  • Translate technical benefits into commercial messaging, defining tailored sales arguments and high-potential applications to support business development.
