What is a techno economic feasibility study?

A techno economic feasibility study is an important step in the progress of a new product development.
A techno economic feasibility study involves analysing the monetary and technological aspects of developing a new product. It helps food and beverage manufacturers determine if their idea for a product is practical with the available resources.
Other uses of a techno economic feasibility study include risk assessment and enlisting measures that can be taken to minimise the risks associated with new product development.
In addition, a techno economic feasibility report given after conducting the study helps food businesses secure loans from investors.

What does a techno economic feasibility study consist of?

A techno economic feasibility study usually consists of the following:

An approximate measure of future sales revenue,
Requirements and costs involved in the workforce, location and infrastructure of the production plant,
The resources and investment required for the implementation of the proposed project,
An estimate of the cost of new product development that includes the cost of raw materials, overheads, utilities, etc., and

Risks that can be incurred in the process.

How does the Food Research Lab help with techno economic feasibility study?

In this age of changing consumer preferences and rapid technological advancements, partnerships and collaboration with the Food Research Lab for techno economic feasibility study helps the food and beverage industries increase their profits and minimise the risks associated with new product development.

The following points highlight how Food Research Lab helps with techno economic feasibility studies: .

Ingredient selection

The team in the Food Research Lab has the expertise and resources to help businesses select ingredients for developing innovative food, beverage, nutraceutical and cosmeceutical products. The team specialises in various ingredients like functional food ingredients, sugar replacers, fat replacers, flavours, proteins, and cosmeceutical ingredients like niacinamide, ubiquinone, aloe vera and witch hazel, to name a few. The team also analyses ingredients and identifies the most economical ones that meet quality standards.

Process Optimisation

The Food Research Lab team helps in the process optimisation process by conducting techno economic feasibility studies. The team helps identify optimised conditions that minimise costs and maximise output by analysing process efficiency, resource utilisation and potential challenges, thereby helping the production process to be more economical.

Quality Assurance

Product quality and shelf life are critical for a product to be successful. Food scientists in the Food Research Lab conduct multiple rounds of quality checks, sensory evaluation and nutritional analysis, ensuring quality. By conducting shelf life studies of the products, food scientists can determine the product longevity and optimise packaging methods keeping the process economical. These methods help reduce waste and costs associated with product wastage.

Cost analysis

Cost analysis is a critical component of techno-economic feasibility studies. The Food Research Lab has the instruments and knowledge to methodically assess the costs of production, raw materials, packaging, and distribution. Cost assessments can also be done across different scales of production, revealing insights into costs of the production scale and their impact on overall costs.

Risk mitigation

The developed products must abide by stringent regulations and safety standards. The Food Research Lab helps industries to conform to the regulations related to ingredients, processes, product labelling, and packaging. Therefore, the risks of non-compliance and subsequent product recall can be averted, which can adversely affect the brand image and the market value of the business.

Decision making

The team helps businesses make informed decisions about product development, considering the available resources and costs, which helps them maximise profits and minimise losses from product development [1].
