Summary of the Initial Findings

  • The list of all the required categories are uploaded in a Google Sheet and can be accessed here.
  • In the initial hour of research, we realized that the market share percentages of most of the mentioned categories were behind the paywalls. For example, IBIS World disclosed only one company that holds the largest market share in the US backpack industry and other details were locked. Another example includes MarketWatch report summary on the kidswear market which disclosed the top brands (based on market share but without revealing the actual market share percentages. Therefore, we couldn't provide the exact market share percentages.
  • Further, most of the market reports related to the mentioned categories provided a list of global players including players that were based in the US. In this initial hour research, we were not able to find much information on the US region.
