These scenarios are not guarantees. They show the most likely path, the upside path, and the downside path based on the evidence available now.
The most likely path, plus upside and downside
Stable overall demand with slight price elasticity; expected continued sales of both the DJI Mini 4K and Samsung QLED products.
Stronger-than-expected consumer response leads to increased market share for both companies, setting a precedent for future product launches.
Increased competition results in eroded margins and diminished consumer loyalty as alternatives proliferate.
