Hiking sits as a Question Mark in New Wave Group's BCG Matrix: Craft uses its textile and technical-sports know-how to enter a fast-growing outdoor apparel market, which global retail sales reached about $19.5bn in 2024 for hiking-specific gear (source: industry reports) but is led by specialist brands, so New Wave's share remains low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew Wave is investing in specialized designs and durable materials to build credibility with outdoor enthusiasts; the company aims to double its outdoor segment revenue from 2023 levels within 24 months to reach a competitive scale and avoid the segment turning into a Dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the quick math and risks: current market share under 2% (internal estimate), target 5%+ to achieve positive operating leverage; if time-to-scale exceeds 18-24 months, churn and margin pressure rise, so execution speed matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"lst_crct\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarket size:
