Market Research in High End Market


Does anyone know of any market research that has been done specifically in the high end industry? Most companies are private, so finding specific information is difficult.

Hi Abstract: Sony (marketing) Europe, allegedly, has such a value/volume report, from 1999. The definition of the hi-end market is made according to their own product category classification...

Research conducted in relation to their SACD and surrounding peripherals? I don't know. However, there *were* rumours (in 1999) about Sony entering the "hi-end" market -- so, the figures, if they really exist, must be encouraging.

Cheers!
I think I remember Linn's annual T-O was USD: c. 20 mill. in 1998. But this would include their low-end gear, ofcourse. Although published b-sheets of the companies you mention could be a route to follow, there would be no way of knowing which part of the T-O refers to hi-end equipment... (or what each co's mkt share is, for that matter, in order to extrapolate).

I'll look into Sony's case -- but I'm not very optimistic!

Cheers!
