Re: whats being overlooked here
The classic example of a company with a small market share but mega profitability is....wait for it....
Apple....
The only product they offer where they have no real competition is the iPod...they have effectively eliminated all competition in the Mp3 player market....the Mac only has about 10% market share worldwide (and even then, surveys reveal that 80% of Mac owners run Windows, either in a virtual machine on a Mac or on a separate computer)...at launch the iPad had more than 90% market share in tablets, but in the last 3 years their share has dropped to just over 50% and within a year or two will probably be around 20-39%....the iPhone only has about 20% market share in smartphones, while Android has 68%
Yet their small market share hasn't hurt them financially.
