<title>Tire Wholesalers</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-1377.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The US tire and tube wholesaler industry includes about 2,000 companies with combined annual revenue of $17 billion. Major companies include American Tire Distributors and TBC Corporation. The industry is highly concentrated: the 50 largest companies hold about 70 percent the market. Most companies are small, with a dozen employees and less than $5 million in annual revenue. A large wholesaler may have $200 million in annual revenue and a network of 10 sales centers.   COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand depends on consumer income and driving volume. The profitability of individual companies is linked to merchandising and good marketing. Small companies can compete by specializing in types of tires or applications (such as for farm equipment or motorcycles) or offering superior service and support. Large wholesalers have economies of scale in distribution, support of national accounts, and advertising and promotion. Annual revenue per employee is close to $600,000.

<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-1375.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The US tire dealer industry includes about 11,000 firms with combined annual revenue of $22 billion. Large companies include TBC Corporation, Discount Tire, Les Schwab Tire Centers, and retail units of manufacturers Goodyear and Bridgestone. The industry is fairly fragmented: the 50 largest companies hold about 45 percent of the market. A typical dealer store has annual revenue of $1.5 million.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand for replacement tires is tied to vehicle usage, which in turn depends on economic activity. The profitability of individual companies depends on marketing, since the product is largely a commodity. Large companies benefit from economies of scale in purchasing and advertising. Small firms can compete effectively by specializing (such as in tires for high-end cars or farm equipment) or by joining purchasing/distribution networks. The average annual revenue per employee is about $140,000.  PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY  Dealers sell replacement tires for passenger cars (55 percent of the market) and commercial ]]></description>

<title>Marinas</title>

<description> <![CDATA[About 4,300 commercial marinas, excluding private yacht clubs, operate in the US, with combined annual revenue of $3 billion. Large companies include Westrec Marinas, Flagship Marinas, and California Yacht Marina. Only about 50 operators own more than one marina. Most marinas are privately owned, but some are operated by municipalities or state agencies. The average marina has between three and 10 employees and annual revenue of $400,000. Large operations can have up to 100 employees and annual revenue up to $10 million.   COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Sales and ownership of power- and sailboats create demand for marina services. The profitability of an individual marina depends on location and good marketing. Small marinas can compete by offering customized services or convenient location. Large and multi-location marinas have the resources to advertise and negotiate better prices with suppliers, builders, and maintenance firms. Annual average revenue per worker is about $120,000.

<title>Truck and Bus Manufacturing</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-1347.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[US heavy truck and bus manufacturers include about 80 companies with combined annual revenue of about $25 billion. Major companies include PACCAR (Peterbilt and Kenworth); Volvo of North America; and Blue Bird. The industry is highly concentrated: the top five manufacturers have about 70 percent market share; the top 20 have 97 percent. Many companies are parts suppliers to assembly plants.   COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Heavy truck demand is driven by growth in the agriculture, manufacturing, construction, and retail sectors. Bus demand is driven by growth in the number of school-aged children and investment in public transportation systems. The profitability of individual companies depends on volume and sales of high-margin options. Small manufacturers compete by supplying parts to other assemblers or by offering highly customized products. The industry is capital-intensive: annual sales per employee averages about $750,000.  The industry competes with other forms of transportation, namely trains and planes, which also move freight and ]]></description>
