Did you outline market size in USD from the end consumer perspective or from the Manufacturer selling price? Meaning in most cases the manufacturer sells to a distributor or retailer (which you refer to your report) and then ultimately to a consumer (obviously with mark-up at each level). Can you share details on your reserach methodology..

How you compiled the data, did it include the venting/chimney cost as well or just the manufactured appliance (gas stove, wood stove, etc.?) .
