MTB Industry Research

[AWOL]

Folks

I am doing some research into the global and Oz MTB industry. Does anyone know sources for information on factors such as:

- Market growth
- Market size
- Major players
- Segment growth and size
- Major centres - ie manufacturing and design centres
- etc

Things like equities research reports would be great, but all other publications and/or assistance most appreciated.

thx for the quick replies but the Cenus is a household survey rather than an industry review.

Bicycling Australia Magazine often post the kind of info you are after in their trade magazine. Get in touch with them......I'm sure they'll be happy to help out.

Great, if I had to stuff up with anyone here on Farkin, "S" would be my last choice (the man strikes me as someone with a memory that could shame an elephant!)... but I did anyway.

Sorry Steve. I'll go wipe the glasses now. :o
