Statistics for Potential Market
We believe our potential market would be people who own a cell phone that also enjoy the outdoors and will spend time in the outdoors. From the data above the United States population spend the most time on their phones. Different generations enjoy doing different types of outdoor activities. With these statistics we believe our product will do well in the market. 91% of people in the United States (323.1 million) own a cell phone as of May 2013. That number has probably increased since. Year round people enjoy the outdoors. With the statistic of 50% of Americans doing at least one outdoor activity our potential market could be 141.1 million people
Summary
The first day of working on Part B, Piper and I both started on the previous patents. We each completed one of these patents the first day working on part B. The second day I was sick so Piper finished the patents and worked on the existing products. On the last day of working on this part, I was still sick so Piper completed the last existing product and completed the potential market place by looking for statistics on people who own cell phones and people who enjoy the outdoors. From finishing Part B and looking at all of this new research, we have new ideas for our product and know what else is out there so we do not copy anyone else's product that already exists.
