Industry question

[8Ball48043]

Just out of curiousity:

How many pool cues are sold in the United States each year?

How many pool cue cases are sold in the United States each year?

I'd be interested to know the size of the Industry we have created.

Or ... a web site that would have this info.

Thanks in advance.

Have you check the Billiard Congress of America's website? I believe they conduct industry surveys and issue marketing trend reports.

You may have to join as a member in order to get detailed sales statistics.

Good site, but .... Only shows sales thru 2004. Matter of fact, nothing on their marketing site is more current than 2007. And, sales numbers are not broken down by cues, cases, accessories, tables, etc.

any other thoughts ???

Either join as a member or pay $250 (non-members) for their report.

Somebody on these boards must have this information. For less than $250.00 membership. It's a simple question, public information ... isn't it?

Anyone ????

You can do a little research through the State Department's website or US Customs - or which ever one keeps stats on imports. By reading through the relevant data on the categories covering billiards you can piece together some info that shows industry size to a degree.
