Capital Expenditure (CapEx) Analysis
CAPEX and Capital Investment Insights for Sourcing Professionals: Unlocking Investment Decision and Backward Integration Opportunities by analyzing Equipment, Technology, and Other Capital Costs.
It is essential for sourcing professionals to evaluate new plant investments—greenfield or brownfield—or identify backward integration opportunities. Our CAPEX analysis framework offers actionable insights into sourcing costs for critical cost areas such as equipment and technology procurement and regulatory compliance, enabling informed decisions on Make vs. Buy strategies.
Our tailored CAPEX modeling provides clients with detailed investment recommendations, financial projections (including NPV, IRR, ROI, breakeven, and profitability), and in-depth risk assessments. By identifying potential pitfalls and delivering early warning signs, we enable you to make informed investment decisions that maximize returns and minimize risks.

Case Studies
A leading chemical company aimed to enter the recycling market by building a greenfield plant. We assessed CAPEX factors like land, infrastructure, and equipment, conducted financial modeling (ROI, NPV, IRR), and analyzed the PCR value chain from collection to conversion. Additionally, we compared legal, financial, and tax frameworks across target countries to ensure investment viability.
Through our rigorous CAPEX analysis and market evaluation framework, the client received actionable insights into the gum industry’s investment potential. The analysis enabled data-driven decisions to refine construction and operational costs, balance risks and rewards across regions, and identify the most viable investment strategy.
A global consumer goods company sought insights into LPG storage and blending feasibility.
