Tier 2 and Tier 3 Players Focus on Consolidation in Emerging Markets

Tier 2 and Tier 3 paintball equipment manufacturers are focusing on consolidating their presence in the emerging markets, amid challenges such as limited presence in the global paintball equipment marketplace, intense competition from tier 1 companies and poor distribution network, . ‘Targeted offerings’ is one of the prime strategies adopted by Tier 2 players, who are actively engaged in introducing new and economic alternatives of different paintball equipment, particularly in the Asia Pacific paintball equipment market. As the market remains fragmented in Asia Pacific and Latin America, tier 2 and tier 3 players in the paintball equipment market are focusing on strengthening their domestic presence. By offering unique products through innovative marketing strategies, small-scale players in the paintball equipment market are seeking broader recognition in the industry.

Amateur Nature of the Sport Limits Sales Potential of Paintball Equipment

Paintball equipment sales are limited on account of its amateur nature. The consistency in new and replacement equipment sales, as compared to other professional sports, such as soccer, tennis and baseball, is insignificant in the context of paintball equipment. As paintball is less viewed as a professional sport and more as a leisure activity, there is a lack of government support and funding in the sport. While bulk of paintball equipment sales can be linked to spending on leisure and fun, spending on buying paintball equipment is witnessing further competition with the increasing popularity of other recreational activities.

Safety Concerns Continue to Deter Participation and New Equipment Sales

Paintball has witnessed a significant evolution over the past few years, with the introduction of novel equipment developed for enhancing safety of the sport. While manufacturers have introduced advanced and reliable paintball equipment, the sport is facing controversies. Incidences of ‘paintball wars’ where paintball equipment are being used in place of guns during the acts of vandalism have significantly impacted the overall popularity of the sport. In addition, injuries caused during the sport, particularly among children has negatively influenced the participation rate. Although the injury rate of paintball remains lower as compared to other sports, growing distrust towards the sport can hamper the already smaller consumer base, in turn, influencing the growth of the paintball equipment market.
