Market Gap Analysis
Budget brands sell at $28-45 with cheap materials, frequent breakage, and poor quality. Luxury brands are high quality but unaffordable at $299-449.
Your position sits at $40-50: quality construction at an accessible price point. The gap: 70% of buyers want quality but can't afford luxury.
Why This Works
0% import duty means an instant margin advantage. 100% recycled earns a sustainability premium (15-25% higher pricing). Zero assembly beats 90% of the furniture market, and the market gap means 70% want quality but can't afford luxury.
