Qualitative and quantitative insights were obtained by interviewing supply-side and demand-side stakeholders during the primary research process. The supply-side sources consisted of CEOs, VPs of Product Development, brand managers, and regional sales directors from OEM suppliers, sporting products companies, and squash equipment manufacturers. Professional squash players, coaches, sports club managers, specialty store owners, procurement leads from multi-brand sporting goods retailers, and facility managers from squash clubs and fitness centers constituted demand-side sources. Market segmentation was verified, product launch timelines were confirmed, and insights regarding equipment adoption patterns, pricing strategies, and distribution channel dynamics were obtained through primary research.
