Home Bistro Inc's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
The nature of our competitors is varied as the market is highly fragmented and the barriers to entry into the business are low. Our direct competitors sell products that are substantially similar to ours and through the same channels through which we sell our vaporizers. We compete with these direct competitors for sales through distributors, wholesalers and retailers.
Our competitive position in the vaporizer industry is difficult to gauge as most of our competition are also smaller companies or are privately held and do not publicly report their earnings. We do know of several competitors, but, like us, many are in their initial stages of development and are focusing on different areas of this industry.
As a general matter, we have access to and market and sell similar products as our competitors, and since we sell our products at substantially similar prices as our competitors; accordingly, the key competitive factors for our success is the quality of service and design we offer our customers, the scope and effectiveness of our marketing efforts, including media advertising campaigns and, increasingly, the ability to identify and develop new sources of customers by attending trade shows and word of mouth.
