Consulting Case Study 4: Technology Audit (Enzyme
Manufacturer) www.frost.com

Client A leading global agricultural biotechnology company

Objective Frost & Sullivan was commissioned by this company to identify recent
developments in the area of enzyme technologies and analyze the top
players in this field in terms of technology and product development
capabilities, R&D expenditures, research collaborations and so on.

Scope A leading agricultural biotechnology company intent on producing healthier

foods, enhancing animal feeds and fibre, was looking at opportunities to
enter the enzyme business. The company is currently not involved in this
arena, but has a vision that its participation could provide value and spur
market opportunities. For this, the company was interested in alliances--
acquisitions rather than partnerships--with one of the key players in the
enzymes space. With this objective in mind the company wanted to conduct
a technology audit of key industry players.
Methodology Frost & Sullivan carried out an exhaustive research of open literature, which
included an analysis of recent patents followed by interviews with key
industry participants.
Outcome Frost & Sullivan delivered a detailed report analyzing the enzyme technology
landscape and also providing a technology audit of the leading enzyme
manufacturers by comparing their technology and product innovation
capabilities, patent portfolio, R&D expenditure and so on.

13
Consulting Case Study 5: Commercialisation Assessment
(Leading University) www.frost.com

Client Commercialisation office of a major university

Objective Frost & Sullivan was commissioned to undertake a technology due diligence exercise to
ascertain a technology – market fit for the technique in the RTLS space, and perform a
capability gap-analysis. In addition, the client desired information on key market sectors,
applications, respective market sizes in various verticals, market concentration of key
vendors, and key drivers and challenges in the healthcare segment of the RTLS market
Scope The Office of Technology Transfer of a leading US Public University wanted to evaluate an
incremental innovation developed by one of the University Researchers, with a view to
explore potential commercialization opportunities in the Real Time Locating Systems
(RTLS) Market. The University was specifically interested in understanding the worth of
innovation before making an investment in patenting the technique
Methodology Frost & Sullivan created a team of emerging technology analysts to evaluate the
designated time synchronization technique, that purportedly increases the ranging
accuracy of a RTLS system. Exhaustive secondary research of open literature was followed
by a series of interviews with individuals and organizations involved in the RTLS field to
evaluate the need for a new type of technique, analyze accuracy levels offered by
contemporary vendors, and the demand for higher accuracies in various applications. In
parallel, an analysis of the intellectual property scenario, especially from leading
developers in the market, was undertaken.
Outcome The result of the in-depth research carried out was the unearthing of a patent granted to a
leading developer in the space that was very similar to the claimed invention, thus
negating the innovative aspect of the technique. Consequently, Frost & Sullivan offered
strategic recommendations to the researchers, facilitating them to set new development
goals that would truly have an impact on the industry, and set benchmarks that need to be
met in order to capture the attention of the market.

Top Global Technology Focus Areas (2010)
www.frost.com

In 2010, Frost & Sullivan identified the following key technology platforms that are poised to have a
profound impact on a number of sectors across the globe.

• Nanomaterials • CIGS Solar

• Flexible Electronics • 3D Integration

• Advanced Batteries and Energy Storage • Autonomous Systems

• Smart Materials • White Biotech

• Green IT • Lasers

26
Nanomaterials
Example –www.frost.com
Graphene

Most of the R&D efforts in nanocomposites are focused on the integration of carbon nanotubes
(CNTs) or inorganic nanoparticles into polymer matrices. Nanotubes and nanoparticles have
experienced many years of research and development effort on a global scale. Touted as the
‘next star’ of Nanotech world, Graphene has inherent qualities that might make it a serious
competitor for carbon nano tubes (CNT’s).

• Mechanical Exfoliation • Electronic Devices
• Space, Niche etc.

• High degrees of toughness

Property • Surge in electrical conductivity with

• Improvement in flammability
characteristics of materials
• Vorbeck
• Princeton University Materials
Active • University of Manchester • Nanotek
Entities • Northwestern University Instruments
• University of Akron • NASA
• Estimates are that Graphene will be almost
1/9th the cost of CNT per kg.
Potential
Cost • Generally, prices of MWCNT & SWCNT (as its
more difficult to produce) haven’t really dropped
significantly in the last few years triggering a
drive in Graphene related R&D

Frost & Sullivan believes strained economic situations provide an opportunity for stakeholders (material & product developers; R&D
entities; VC’s) to use their resources (time & money) towards assessing the real market potential of Graphene as low production cost
is one its biggest value proposition.

• Increased technology advances in
batteries and infrastructure such as
charging stations help improve
limitations such as vehicle range and
drive the shift away from fossil-fuel
based modes of transport.

Smart Mobility
• As urbanization and traffic congestion
becomes a growing concern in
densely populated cities, governing
bodies turn to smart mobility solutions
to cope with mobilizing mass
populations.
• Greener transportation options such
as walking, public transportation and
biking are integrated into urban
redesigns.
• Intelligent transportation concepts
such as car-to-car communication and
road network monitoring are
incorporated into everyday transport.
