+Added: Power Station Markets.
+Added: are various forms of tonneau covers, each with their advantages and disadvantages, available for consumption through direct-to-consumer
+Added: and retailer and dealer sales channels.
+Added: Some forms of tonneau covers include but are not limited to:
+Added: One Piece Caps and Lids;
+Added: Folding & Roll-Up Covers;
+Added: Folding & Standing Covers.
+Added: one piece covers and retractable covers tend to have limited functionality and tend to be priced higher when compared to other types
+Added: of tonneau covers.
+Added: Soft and hard folding/rolling tonneau covers, in contrast, tend to be priced more competitively and, as such, are
+Added: a popular choice among tonneau cover consumers.
+Added: Given these factors and our belief that we can develop less cumbersome, high functioning,
+Added: and low cost soft and hard folding covers, we focus primarily on developing soft and hard folding covers.
+Added: tonneau cover revenue stream is largely proportional to sales of pickup trucks.
+Added: Currently, there are 284.9 million vehicles in operation
+Added: in the USA 1 , 21%, or 59.5 million, of which are pickup trucks.
+Added: 2 However, as a result of supply chain shortages,
+Added: rising interest rates, high prices, and slowing sales, it may take until 2025 for new-vehicle sales to return to pre-pandemic levels.
+Added: While new vehicle sales have decreased, we are well-positioned to capitalize on new vehicle sales;
+Added: we offer tonneau covers for
+Added: each of the 10 most popular makes/models by projected 2022-2029 sales (including, for example, the Ford F-Series, RAM Pickups, and Chevrolet
+Added: Silverado), as well as the top 10 most accessorized pickup truck makes/models projected in 2022-2029.
+Added: 2 Within the USA market,
+Added: pickup truck market revenue is expected to show a compound annual growth rate of 1.70% in 2023-2027.
+Added: 3 Within this market,
+Added: pickup trucks are most popular within the southern region of the United States 2 , and the two largest state markets for pickup
+Added: trucks are by far Texas and California.
+Added: 2 Globally, pickup truck market revenue is expected to show a compound annual growth
+Added: rate of 1.01% in 2023-2027.
+Added: pickup trucks are projected to gain a larger portion of the pickup truck market share each year through 2035 1 , as this submarket
+Added: is estimated to have a compound annual growth rate of 29.7% between 2022 and 2023.
+Added: 5 However, a large headwind acting against
+Added: this trend is that pickup trucks tend to be more popular in areas with less-developed charging infrastructure 2 – a headwind
+Added: that the SOLIS cover directly addresses and positions us favorably for possible partnerships and deals with electric pickup truck manufacturers.
+Added: Specialty Equipment Aftermarket provides more specific insight into how often and for what reasons vehicle owners or renters are purchasing
+Added: accessories for their vehicles.
+Added: Despite crossover utility vehicles being the most common vehicle type on the road in the USA 1 ,
+Added: pickup trucks are the largest market by sales within the USA for specialty equipment – constituting 31% of this market 2 ,
+Added: which translated to $16 billion in sales during 2021.
+Added: 2 This market is expected to grow from $50.9 billion in 2021 to $58.66
+Added: billion by 2025.
+Added: 6 Within this pickup truck accessory market, 34% of accessories are truck bed & utility modifications 2 ,
+Added: which is the submarket in which we operate.
+Added: Truck bed covers are among the top product categories for aftermarket accessory purchases
+Added: in 2021 2 , and the size of the tonneau cover market within the USA was valued at $3 billion as of 2021.
+Added: discretionary consumer goods, the specialty automotive part market is subject to consumer spending trends.
+Added: Per capita disposable income
+Added: fell 7.8% during 2022 as government stimulus ended;
+Added: however, it is expected to increase slowly during 2023.
+Added: 8 Further, while
+Added: the Federal Reserve has projected unemployment rates to increase in 2023 and subsequent years 9 , recent unemployment rates
+Added: are the lowest they have been in recent decades.
+Added: 10 Together, these factors suggest consumer disposable income and unemployment
+Added: will need to be carefully monitored in order to accurately forecast the automotive aftermarket accessories’ market potential year-to-year.
+Added: purchase automotive aftermarket accessories, as well as tonneau covers, specifically, for various reasons.
+Added: According to recent reports,
+Added: 97%, 92%, 80%, and 62% of pickup truck owners use their trucks for utility/work, travel/vacation, outdoor recreation, and off-road uses,
+Added: respectively.
+Added: 2 Of those pickup truck owners who have purchased accessories for their trucks, 93%, 86%, 68%, and 43% of them
+Added: use their pickup trucks for day trips, carrying tools/gear, light off-roading, and car camping, respectively.
+Added: 2 Pickup truck
+Added: owners who use their vehicles for outdoor recreation, work, or off-roading are much more likely to purchase accessories when compared
+Added: to those who use their vehicles for other purposes.
+Added: 2 Worksport’s tonneau covers largely benefit truck owners using their
+Added: vehicles for any of these aforementioned purposes, and the SOLIS cover provides additional utility for those utilizing their trucks for
+Added: utility/work, outdoor recreation, and car camping, in particular.
+Added: of truck bed covers occur across several channels, among those including but not limited to part manufacturers, specialty retailers and
+Added: online retailers.
+Added: For physical location sales, the most popular sales channels for truck bed covers include Specialty Retailers/Installers
+Added: and New Vehicle Dealerships, which constitute 17% and 11% of in-store sales, respectively.
+Added: 6 For online sales, the most popular
+Added: sales channels for truck bed covers include Online Only General Retailer, Specialty Retailers/Installers, and Parts Manufacturers, which
+Added: constitute 23%, 19%, and 8% of online sales, respectively.
+Added: 6 In the Fall of 2022, it was reported that roughly 59% of retailer
+Added: specialty equipment sales were sold through in-store/physical channels while the other 41% were sold through online channels.

+Added: to the Tonneau Cover Market, the Portable Power Station Market is much younger and globalized.
+Added: Gas and diesel generators have long been
+Added: used by consumers to generate electricity when they could not rely on the grid, whether it be for grid damages or the lack of grid in
+Added: remote areas.
+Added: Unlike such generators, portable power stations do not generate electricity, themselves, but can also be used to provide
+Added: electricity during times of grid unreliability.
+Added: These portable power stations are often charged by the grid via home outlets or independent
+Added: of the grid via consumers’ vehicles or solar panels.
+Added: Portable Power Station Market is large and growing.
+Added: At a compound annual growth rate of 3.9% between 2022 and 2031 1 , the global
