This is a relatively stable market
Because of the high entry barrier
And competitors are not trying to take over the market share
Therefore creates a Competitive coexistence situation.

Kone managers suggested a higher price when we donât have 15% of the market share ď not the case in Germany
17% increase from Hydraulic price is reasonable for people to pay but not too much that we take too much market share
But again with the cost savings and energy, time and space a 1% increase is justifiable
Althought they have a high price, worth it for publicity and convenience
Otis and Schindler outnumber KONEâs salesforce by 5 to 1 ď later downsize
Give customers a good feeling
Commission type salary so cost should pay for itself
