Business Overview
In 2018, the idea of XXXXl was conceived to provide favorable conditions for the training of professional YYYY players. One of the constant concerns of YYYY players involves the unrestricted use of pellets for training (especially for targeting), which is unreasonable considering the cost of YYYY. While having a much cheaper price, the XXXXl pellet has a number of features that make it stand out.
Our Mission
Our company's purpose is to provide cheaper and better alternative to YYYY to promote fun and satisfaction amongst YYYY enthusiasts.
Our Vision
To be one of the largest companies in the Canada YYYY industry offering lasting solutions and customer satisfaction to YYYY enthusiasts.

Growth Rate of Market
The YYYY industry is an enormous industry with great opportunity for growth. Today, YYYY is seen as the world’s fastest growing sport with over 10 million people in America playing the game each year. The game boasts of its presence in over 100 countries in the world including Canada. It is a million-dollar industry in terms of revenue and it continues to grow with great potential for expansion. The increasing number of games and tournaments has made the industry more lucrative and attractive for investors. The YYYY market is rapidly changing due to national promotions and expansion of the industry. The global YYYY market is valued at over $1 billion in 2019. The estimated market size by the end of 2026 is over $4 billion. Recreational centers are recording a steady growth in the YYYY business. 60% of YYYY players consist of younger people between the ages of 18 and 25 years. The best chance of a positive cash flow opportunity for XXXXl will be to focus on appealing to the younger audience in the age range, professional YYYY players and recreational centers.
The market for YYYY pellets is an outstanding and growing one. The sector is recording steady growth in Toronto, Vancouver and other parts of Canada. As more people enter into the game, the wider the number of participants grows and the more our reach. According to the Canada YYYY Association, the number of participants in 2017 of age six and older in YYYY amounted to over 3.4 million. National advertising and promotion of the YYYY game has created a massive awareness thereby increasing the number of participants. YYYY has a market size of $1.3 billion in 2021 and its expected to grow by 0.5%. In July 2016, there were 4,025 businesses in the YYYY industry, employing 30,000 people globally. In 2005, there were $427 million sales of YYYYs and $537 million in 2004. This figure is expected to increase steadily over the next five years.
9 MARKET RESEARCH
Key Market Trends
In Canada, YYYY is a sport in which players compete as a team or individually and play to eliminate the opponent by hitting the opponent with YYYYs fired from the YYYY guns to the opponent. Over several years, this game has been gaining popularity, especially amount young adults. The Canada YYYY industry is an emerging market with great potential for expansion. The industry has no major player with up to 5% of the market share. The market will continue to grow over the next years due to strategic promotions, product selections, innovation in technology and a continuously growing database of consumers. The YYYY industry will continue to experience an upward trend. The industry finds distribution through modern trade channels, recreational facilities, specialty stores, online channels, directly to consumers via word of mouth, tournaments and more. Leading companies in the industry leverage their global network to expand into other countries and regions. Recently, leading players in the industry signed a sponsorship agreement to increase their brand visibility and attract new customers. Also, acquisition of other smaller players in the industry has been a recent trend in the industry. Based on the latest research conducted in 2021, the development of third-party replacement straps for YYYY guns will create a huge change from the previous years.
Growth Opportunities
The Canada YYYY industry is an enormous industry with great opportunity for growth. There are about 1,000 professional teams in Canada, 95% of which have no sponsorship in the pellet supply sector and have to pay a lot of money for their training. In addition, the number of clubs is over 1,000, which will definitely benefit from our pellets for their recreational activities beside YYYY. It is a million-dollar industry in terms of revenue and it continues to grow with great potential for expansion. The increasing number of games and tournaments has made the industry more lucrative and attractive for investors. The YYYY market is rapidly changing due to national promotions and expansion of the industry. The global YYYY market is valued at over $1 billion in 2019. The estimated market size by the end of 2026 is over $4 billion. Recreational centers are recording a steady growth in the YYYY business. 60% of YYYY players consist of younger people between the ages of 18 and 25 years. The best chance of a positive cash flow opportunity for XXXXl will be to focus on appealing to the younger audience in the age range, professional YYYY players and recreational centers.
10 MARKET RESEARCH
After studying the YYYY culture in Canada and doing an extensive market analysis, XXXXl intends to reach out to the following groups of customers. It’s worth noting that potential clients in this case are anyone interested in YYYY games in Canada.
Under 18 Years Old
YYYY is an exciting game that attracts large masses of young people. For this reason, this is a key customer group the business intends to reach out to. A large section of the Canadian population consists of teenagers and children, thus presenting an excellent opportunity for XXXXl to market its services. Despite many similar established businesses in the area, we know the appetite for YYYY, especially among this age group, keeps growing. In addition, a large section of under 18 year olds are still in schools, which play a huge role in popularizing YYYY across the city.
19-64 Year Olds
Many residents who fall in this age group belong to the working class and therefore earn a steady income. Given the large middle class population, these residents can afford to buy YYYY ammunition and attire required for an exciting gaming experience. The business hopes to sell various services and packages to this customer segment, bearing in mind they have a disposable income that allows them to spend on numerous entertainment activities. After opening a YYYY field business, this group of customers is expected to frequent the YYYY club to have fun and unwind.
Over 65 Year Olds
This category caters for senior citizens who have retired from an active career life but are looking for something exciting to keep them busy. With YYYY increasingly becoming popular, seniors have also been attracted to the game. They’re an extremely sensitive group and require good customer care and help to feel comfortable within the business premises.
CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION
Corporates
Because of the growing interest in YYYY, corporates have joined the bandwagon by regularly organizing staff YYYY fun days. In addition, there are numerous YYYY tournaments and competitions where various corporate teams drawn from various companies participate. This is a lucrative market segment because a single corporate booking is guaranteed to generate good income for the business.
Professional YYYY Stakeholders
The XXXXl YYYY field business plan also aims to target professional YYYY teams and league organizers looking for a venue to use for tournaments. Given the high number of venues across Canada, the business has an uphill task of positioning itself strategically to reach out to this market.

OUR TARGETFUTUREEXPANSIONREGIONS
Our target market, after Canada, is the United States, followed by Europe and Asia. Canada is a good market for this product due to its breadth and many clubs and teams in the country. In addition, the neighboring country of Canada, the United States, as the birthplace of YYYY and with hundreds of clubs and thousands of talented players and interested people, will be the most important market for this product. European countries, such as Germany with a high-quality league, will be a good target market for this product.Asia will be the next priority.
There are about 1,000 professional teams in the United States and Canada, 95% of which have no sponsorship in the pellet supply sector and have to pay a lot of money for their training. In addition, the number of clubs is over 1,000, which will definitely benefit from these pellets for their recreational activities beside YYYY. With a somewhat conservative estimate of sales in the first year, the number of teams that will use XXXXl in training can be considered 150 and the number of clubs is 150. Considering that each team uses at least 3 boxes of XXXXl in their weekly training and each club orders at least 15 boxes per month, it is possible to reach 4050 boxes (8.1 million XXXXls) per month.

Market Gap
YYYY has witnessed a significant evolution over the past few years, with the introduction of novel equipment developed for enhancing safety of the sport. While manufacturers have introduced advanced and reliable YYYY equipment, the sport is facing controversies.
Incidences of ‘YYYY wars’, where YYYY equipment is being used in place of guns during acts of vandalism, have significantly impacted the overall popularity of the sport.
In addition, injuries caused during the sport, particularly among children, have negatively influenced the participation rate. Although the injury rate of YYYY remains lower as compared to other sports, growing distrust towards the sport can hamper the already smaller consumer base, in turn influencing the growth of the YYYY equipment market.

MARKET RESEARCH – EXPANSION OPPORTUNITY
YYYY Market by Geography
• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Rest of the world
Based on regional analysis, the global YYYY market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and rest of the world. The largest share in the market will be dominated by North America. The reason can be attributed to the increasing participation rate of individuals in recreational sports. The wholesale sales of YYYY sports equipment in the U.S. amounted to $148 million. However, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness significant growth. This growth can be credited to the changing lifestyle among teenagers and rising disposable incomes, which have led to an increase in demand from countries such as China and India.

THE XXXXL INNOVATION JOB CREATION
We invented XXXXl to create favorable conditions for the training of professional YYYY players, as well as provide a cheaper alternative for YYYY. Considering the cost of YYYY, the unrestricted use of pellets during training is a big problem for YYYY players. While having a much cheaper price, the XXXXl pellet also has a number of features that make it stand out.
It generally costs less to play XXXXl than YYYY, so customers can enjoy shooting more pellets at a lower price. In addition, players and clubs report less pain and almost no injuries. They will also have considerably lower side costs because there are no chemical dyes (no dirty YYYY clothes or equipment, no need to maintain a certain temperature). Likewise, the pellet is 100% recyclable, so consumers can charge each subsequent purchase by returning the used pellets or selling them as recycled, which is the least harmful to the environment.
SCALABILITY
One of the strongest impacts that XXXXl is going to create is opportunity for employment in Canada. In our first year of operation, we expect to create 20 full-time jobs and hundreds more indirect job opportunities through our supply chain networks.
With an expected growth rate of 30% in our operations scale on a yearly basis, we expect that our workforce demand will increase 3.7 fold over five years. Not only do we have a strong focus on job creation, we will also create a strong avenue for social development across our immediate communities through an untiring focus on social development programs like graduate employment schemes, business sponsorships, partnerships with local businesses and many more.
For us, the most important indicator of scalability is our use of technology to expand our operations scale. We would operate using a lean business model, where we would use technology to reach a wide audience while keeping costs low. More than 90% of our target audience can be targeted on social media and other online channels. A large part of our product distribution model is based on ecommerce – listing our product on our website and other top ecommerce channels will help boost our brand strength and promote our value across Canada to a very great extent.
Another indicator of scalability for XXXXl is the opportunity we have for expansion across the global YYYY market. We have strong markets in the US, Asia and Europe.

HOW XXXXL PELLETS ARE PRODUCED
Initially, three types of calcium carbonate materials, polyethylene and pigments are inspected by the quality control & research and development unit after purchase and transferred to the warehouse. After approval, they are sent to the extruder unit for cold extrusion (this is done by mixing the ingredients as best as possible). Then, the aforementioned materials are mixed with appropriate percentages according to the formula with precise control and are sent to the plastic injection unit in 8kg packages. Here, the packages of extruded material are transferred to the cylinders of the injection machines and the machines start firing.
After the produced pellets are cooled in the pools, they are re-examined and screened by the quality control unit, and the approved pellets are transferred to the packaging unit. Here the pellets are packed by automatic machines in packs of 1,000 and placed in two packs of 1,000 in carton boxes. It should be noted that XXXXl molds will be delivered to the plastic injection contractor and they will be obliged to deliver the pellets according to the criteria of the quality control department. This trend is monitored daily in several shifts.
Another point is that, to produce this quantity of XXXXl, you will need 4 30-hole molds. In the case of providing XXXXl used by customers to the company, after washing and drying and approval of the quality control and research and development unit, they are sent to the mill department and then added to the production line materials with exact ratios and the recycling cycle of XXXXl will be practically completed.
