Deep & Bridges strategy consultants can help you understand the commercial and technical nuances of the food industry. 

We can advise you on which strategy is most suitable for your company. 

The food ingredient sector has seen some rapid changes over the last few years. 

These include, for example, changes in the production of ingredients, the processing of side streams and the sale of ingredients. Drivers for this are consumer preferences, e.g. in clean-label ingredients, plant-based foods and alternative proteins. There have also been significant technical advances, e.g. during fermentation. The sector has attracted a great deal of interest from private equity and other investors. There has been a significant amount of M&A activity recently. There was a wave of consolidation and carve-outs involving leading players such as IFF and DSM-Firmenich.
