Product Description
This study covers the latent demand outlook for badminton, paint ball, racquetball, squash, and table tennis equipment and traditional and clamp-on roller skates and related equipment across the regions of Greater China, including provinces, autonomous regions (Guangxi, Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Xizang - Tibet), municipalities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and Taiwan (all hereafter referred to as “regions”). Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,100 cities in Greater China. For each major city in question, the percent share the city is of the region and of Greater China is reported. Each major city is defined as an area of “economic population”, as opposed to the demographic population within a legal geographic boundary. For many cities, the economic population is much larger that the population within the city limits; this is especially true for the cities of the Western regions. For the coastal regions, cities which are close to other major cities or which represent, by themselves, a high percent of the regional population, actual city-level population is closer to the economic population (e.g. in Beijing). Based on this “economic” definition of population, comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city’s marketing and distribution value vis-à-vis others. This exercise is quite useful for persons setting up distribution centers or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each region and city of influence, latent demand estimates are created for badminton, paint ball, racquetball, squash, and table tennis equipment and traditional and clamp-on roller skates and related equipment. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. ... Read more

Extrait : Le padel ou paddle-tennis est un sport de raquettes né en 1890 et officialisé en 1924 par Enrique Corcuera. Il se joue sur un demi-court de tennis avec des balles proches de celles du tennis et une petite raquette courte. Il est très populaire en Argentine, à New York et en Espagne. Si aujourd'hui le padel est un sport ludique de raquettes faisant la synthèse entre le tennis, le squash, le tennis de table et la pelote basque, peu de gens savent qu'il est né en mer sur des bateaux britanniques, aux alentours de 1890, pour divertir les passagers et serait une forme de tennis adaptée à l'espace disponible. Il faut attendre 1924 pour que le Nord-Américain Franck Beal, secrétaire du Community Council de New York, introduise le padel dans les parcs municipaux. La pratique prendra le nom de paddle-tennis, paddle désignant un petit objet rond en bois. En 1928, le paddle-tennis est devenu populaire à New York et dans les États voisins, mais un problème se pose en hiver , le paddle-tennis se jouant en extérieur. Les conditions climatiques de l'Amérique du Nord limitent la pratique de ce sport aux quelques mois d'été. Fresseden Blanchardy et James Cogswell élaborent un terrain de paddle-tennis placé sur un plateau de bois surélevé, permettant de jouer sur un sol même irrégulier et d'en balayer facilement la neige en hiver pour rendre la surface praticable. La mise en place d'une toile reliant les deux frontons autour du terrain a résolu le problème de la perte de la balle. Le paddle-tennis devient ainsi le "Platform-Tennis". Cette forme améliorée du paddle-tennis viendra s'implanter à Scardale, près...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

WHAT IS LATENT DEMAND AND THE P.I.E.?

The concept of latent demand is rather subtle. The term latent typically refers to something that is dormant, not observable, or not yet realized. Demand is the notion of an economic quantity that a target population or market requires under different assumptions of price, quality, and distribution, among other factors. Latent demand, therefore, is commonly defined by economists as the industry earnings of a market when that market becomes accessible and attractive to serve by competing firms. It is a measure, therefore, of potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) or total revenues (not profit) if a market is served in an efficient manner. It is typically expressed as the total revenues potentially extracted by firms. The “market” is defined at a given level in the value chain. There can be latent demand at the retail level, at the wholesale level, the manufacturing level, and the raw materials level (the P.I.E. of higher levels of the value chain being always smaller than the P.I.E. of levels at lower levels of the same value chain, assuming all levels maintain minimum profitability).

The latent demand for badminton, paint ball, racquetball, squash, and table tennis equipment and traditional and clamp-on roller skates and related equipment is not actual or historic sales. Nor is latent demand future sales. In fact, latent demand can be lower either lower or higher than actual sales if a market is inefficient (i.e., not representative of relatively competitive levels). Inefficiencies arise from a number of factors, including the lack of international openness, cultural barriers to consumption, regulations, and cartel-like behavior on the part of firms. In general, however, latent demand is typically larger than actual sales in a country market.

For reasons discussed later, this report does not consider the notion of “unit quantities”, only total latent revenues (i.e., a calculation of ... Read more
