    They get their tech somewhere else because it’s cheaper. All my company’s sales dropped internationally to a trickle, but my industry hasn’t “slowed” internationally.

      I don’t like to be too specific with what I do, I’ll just say we’re more Gucci than Garmin. Our products are “luxury” and apparently the competition isn’t really competition.

      But who knows, maybe there is another one out there that is gaining popularity. I don’t really pay attention to that market other than what my job entails. Lord knows I can’t afford even our cheapest product, not to mention I have no use for it lol

        Naw, if it’s some bespoke piece of gear that only goes in luxury boats and not, say, a container ship you would have heard of a market disruptor

          Right. The gear just gets sourced elsewhere. Even if they go for “second best” because the best has too many US strings.
