Snowboards

Introduction :

Snowboarding is a sport that has gained popularity in many parts of the world. However, it has not yet gained traction in Africa due to the lack of snow and cold weather conditions. We aim to change this by creating a unique and innovative indoor snowboarding facility in Africa.

Our business plan involves the creation of an indoor snowboarding facility that will allow individuals to learn, practice and enjoy snowboarding in Africa, all year round. Our facility will be the first of its kind in the continent and will provide a new and exciting recreational activity for people of all ages.

Market Analysis:

The snowboarding industry has seen significant growth in recent years, with an estimated global market size of $1.1 billion in 2020. While Africa may not be known for its snowboarding industry, there is a significant market opportunity to introduce the sport to the continent. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, the potential market for snowboarding in Africa is substantial.

Target Market:

Our target market will be individuals of all ages who are interested in learning or practicing snowboarding.
