Different cuts of boot and studs are available depending on the type of sports, surface, and the wearer’s position or role in the game. For instance, shoes with rubber soles are used for indoor football to ensure the maximum grip on the floor, and for rugby shoes with screw-in studs are preferred.

Cleats manufacturers must emphasize on product development and launch products with extra features to cater to the changing needs of the users and survive in the competitive global market. The new players require high capital investments to set up their businesses and position their brands in a manner that attracts consumer attention. Moreover, advertising and other promotional campaigns require high investments. Consumers in the market possess a high level of brand loyalty, and new players require time to create a positive brand image.
Hence, the threat of new entrants in the global cleats market is expected to be low during the forecast period.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
The raw material suppliers in the global cleats market include leather, foam, cotton, plastic, and metal producers, collection agents, distributors, importers, and independent suppliers. Due to the presence of several suppliers across the globe, the bargaining power of suppliers is low in the global cleats market. Moreover, market players enter into partnerships and agreements with producers and suppliers to ensure a continuous, uninterrupted supply of a variety of raw materials. This strategic move or backward integration by manufacturers gives them an upper hand while reducing the bargaining power of suppliers.
Hence, the bargaining power of suppliers in the global cleats market is expected to be low during the forecast period.
Bargaining Power of Buyers
Several cleats manufacturers operate in a moderately consolidated market, which increases product availability and reduces the switching cost for buyers. This results in higher bargaining power of buyers. However, the number of buyers in the global market is high, which limits their bargaining power. Specific requirements of buyers can give an upper hand to manufacturers that offer customized products. The cleats manufacturers have a large customer base and, by providing specific products as per requirements, they can limit the bargaining power of the buyers.
Hence, the bargaining power of buyers in the global cleats market is expected to be moderate during the forecast period.
Threat of Substitutes
There are no direct substitutes for cleats. However, the global market is moderately consolidated and faces intense internal competition at the product type level. Consumers might substitute one brand of cleats for another based on their preferences. However, the awareness and availability of cleats are growing in developing countries. Owing to these factors, there are chances of product substitution at an internal level, primarily due to the availability of multiple options of different brands in the global market.
Hence, the threat of substitutes in the global cleats market is expected to be low during the forecast period.
Intensity of Rivalry
The global cleats market is moderately consolidated with the presence of several regional and global players. There is fierce competition among the market players in terms of product quality, variety, and pricing. There is minimal scope for manufacturers to differentiate their portfolios based on either product or price. The growing demand for cleats due to the increasing focus on safety and comfort while playing creates an opportunity for market players to emphasize innovation and product quality to expand their customer base. Thus, manufacturers are focusing on strategic expansions to expand their businesses worldwide and survive in the competitive market.
Hence, the rivalry in the global cleats market is expected to be high during the forecast period.

Cleats are used for sports activities such as soccer, rugby, and football. The increasing popularity of sports activities is one of the major factors driving the growth of the global cleats market. Furthermore, the increasing per capita disposable income and the high growth of the organized retail sector are also driving the market growth. However, the high cost of the product is hampering the growth of the market. The global cleats market is estimated to emerge as a lucrative market for the vendors due to the increasing number of women participants.

The Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), an international football governing body, suggested that there were more than 240 million registered soccer players in 2016 globally. The number of youth participation in football has increased in recent years. According to the data from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, there has been a significant increase in the football participants within the 6–12 age group. Participants in flag football within the age group of 6–12 saw a slightly larger jump, from 1.142 million in 2017 to 1.245 million in 2018.
Moreover, rugby has also seen an increase in the number of players participating in the sport. World Rugby, the governing body of the rugby union, stated that, in 2018, 9.6 million players played the game around the world, which is an estimated increase of 10% players compared to 2017, accounting for more than a quarter of the total global playing population. Furthermore, more than 2 million girls and boys participated in rugby in 2018. The increasing number of players in soccer and rugby and the growing need for sports accessories are expected to drive the demand for cleats. Thus, the increasing popularity of sports is expected to drive the growth of the global cleats market during the forecast period.

The World Rugby stated that, in 2017, there was an approximately18–20% increase in the number of female participants in rugby compared to the previous year. In 2012, about one in every 13 registered players worldwide was female, and, currently, the ratio is one to nine. If this growth rate continues, parallel to the growth in the men's game, by about 2027, there would be more registered women players than men globally. Some countries such as Japan, Poland, Belgium, Fiji, and New Zealand have seen a significant spike in the growth of women participants in rugby. Without the increasing popularity of women's rugby in these countries, the growth of the game would be, at best, near-zero and probably in decline.
The growth in the number of female participants in football within Europe remains consistent. According to research conducted by the Union of European Football Associations (UFEA), the total number of registered female players was more than 1.270 million in 2016-2017, of which the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden, have more than 100,000 female players. This trend has also been witnessed in other countries in the world. For instance, in the US, there has been a significant increase in female participants in high school sports in the last few years. The number of female players increased by approximately 7.5% and reached 2,404 in 2018 compared to 2017.

The increasing focus on physical activities has increased the demand for cleats, as they are used in a range of sports, including rugby and football. The manufacturers of cleats price their products higher than other sports shoes as they help make athletes faster and more stable on the playing field. The oligopolistic market includes individual producers that have indulged in price wars and are charging prices according to their choice. Thus, the high price of the product is expected to restrain the growth of the global cleats market during the forecast period.

However, consumers in underdeveloped countries have limited awareness and access to cleats and other sports-related accessories. The lack of awareness among potential consumers regarding the role of cleats in sports is reducing the demand for these products. The limited product availability and low spending capacity, coupled with the weak distribution channels and the limited presence of e-commerce platforms, are expected to create challenges for the sale of cleats in underdeveloped countries during the forecast period.

HP Inc. is the world's second-largest personal computer vendor and the largest printer vendor, operating a two-engine business model in which a large, low-margin, share-defending Personal Systems franchise is funded and cross-subsidised by a smaller, structurally declining but highly profitable Printing franchise built on consumables annuity economics. In FY2025 Personal Systems produced 70% of revenue at a 5.3% pre-tax segment margin while Printing produced 30% of revenue at an 18.7% margin, meaning Printing generated roughly 62% of total segment earnings on less than a third of the revenue. Management's declared strategy — "leading the Future of Work" — attempts to convert that hardware base into an AI-enabled, subscription-weighted platform through AI PCs, the Workforce Experience Platform, Poly collaboration hardware and the newly announced HP IQ intelligence layer. As of September 2026 the company is executing this transition under an interim chief executive, amid an acute DRAM/NAND cost shock and a formal search for a permanent CEO. HP Inc. is the Palo Alto–headquartered personal-computing and imaging/printing company that emerged from the November 2015 separation of the former Hewlett-Packard Company into two independent public companies. HP Inc. retained the legacy corporate registrant — it is the same legal entity as the original Hewlett-Packard Company, renamed — while the enterprise infrastructure, software and services businesses were spun into Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company. That legal continuity matters: HP Inc.'s SEC filings carry the original Commission file number and the original Delaware incorporation and IRS identification numbers, and the Form 10-K explicitly states that references to HP Inc. mean HP Inc. "(formerly Hewlett-Packard Company)" and its consolidated subsidiaries. --- ### HP's own description The FY2025 Form 10-K opens with the company's self-characterisation: HP describes itself as a global technology leader creating solutions that let people bring ideas to life and connect to what matters most, operating in more than 170 countries and delivering devices, services and subscriptions across personal computing, printing, 3D printing, hybrid work, gaming and adjacent technologies. The filing places artificial intelligence at the centre of its narrative, arguing that AI is transforming how people live and work and that customers are beginning to recognise benefits in security, speed and cost. It highlights a portfolio of AI PCs and workstations built for local AI processing, intelligent print features across home, office and graphics products, and a layered security proposition spanning security-enhanced PCs and printers, hardware-enforced endpoint security software for both HP and non-HP PCs, and endpoint security services using containment, isolation and AI deep-learning malware detection. Newer 2026 press-release boilerplate has tightened this language considerably: HP now describes itself as "a global technology leader redefining the Future of Work," operating in more than 180 countries and delivering AI-powered devices, software, services and subscriptions. The shift from "innovative and sustainable devices, services and subscriptions" (FY2025 10-K) to "innovative and AI-powered devices, software, services and subscriptions" (2026 releases) is a deliberate repositioning of the equity story from sustainability-and-devices to AI-and-software. ### Independent characterisation HP is best understood as three economically distinct businesses reported through two material segments. **The PC business is a scale-and-distribution business, not a technology business.** HP designs and specifies; it does not manufacture. The 10-K states plainly that HP uses outsourced manufacturers worldwide to build HP-designed products, relying on original manufacturers ("OMs") — with Taiwanese contract manufacturers named specifically for notebooks — and that HP represents a substantial portion of the business of certain OMs. Silicon comes from Intel, AMD and NVIDIA, with Qualcomm Snapdragon in selected Arm-based models; operating systems come from Microsoft and Google. HP's value-add is industrial design, security firmware, channel reach, procurement leverage, services attach and brand. The consequence is that HP's PC gross margin is a spread between component cost and street price, with very little insulation when component costs move violently — which is precisely what has happened in FY2026. **The printing business is a razor-and-blades annuity.** Supplies alone generated $10,916 million in FY2025, 65% of total Printing segment revenue and 19.7% of consolidated revenue, at margins far above the hardware. Printing's 18.7% FY2025 pre-tax segment margin is not an operating-leverage outcome; it is a consumables monopoly outcome, defended by supplies authentication technology ("Dynamic Security") which is itself the subject of persistent litigation and regulatory attention across multiple jurisdictions. The 10-K's own risk factors concede the structural problem in unusually direct language: secular decline in print demand from digitisation and hybrid work, competition from generic and remanufactured supplies, and customer migration from cartridge printers to refillable "big tank" printers which — HP states explicitly — carry higher initial hardware margin but "do not result in follow-on sales of high margin traditional ink cartridges and, as a result, may have lower overall device lifetime profitability." That is management admitting that its own product-mix shift is dilutive to lifetime economics. **The services, software and subscription overlay is the strategic bet.** This spans HP Instant Ink and the HP All-In Plan on the consumer side; managed print services, Device-as-a-Service and lifecycle services on the commercial side; the Workforce Experience Platform (WXP), Poly Lens and Wolf Security on the software side; and Poly hardware in meeting rooms. HP does not disclose a discrete revenue line for "subscriptions" or "software" in its segment note, which is a material transparency gap for anyone underwriting the transition thesis. The company reports only Commercial PS, Consumer PS, Supplies, Commercial Printing, Consumer Printing and Corporate Investments. ### Value chain position and route to market HP sits between component suppliers and a multi-tier distribution network, owning almost none of the physical production. The 10-K describes four channel archetypes — retailers, value-added resellers, distribution partners and systems integrators — and states that the majority of overall revenue is transacted through channel resellers, with direct/indirect mix varying by business and geography. This creates two structural exposures the filings acknowledge repeatedly: limited visibility into multi-tier channel inventory, and the risk of channel partners selling outside agreed territories or misrepresenting sell-through, which HP states has occurred historically and has damaged gross margins. Customer concentration is now material and newly so. The FY2025 segment note discloses that TD Synnex Corp accounted for 12% of HP's net revenue in FY2025, whereas no single customer represented 10% or more in FY2024 or FY2023. That is a new disclosure threshold crossing and a genuine concentration risk that did not exist twelve months earlier. ### Customer types and end markets Commercial customers span large enterprise, public sector (including education), and small and medium business, served with the Pro and Elite PC portfolios, Z workstations, thin clients, retail point-of-sale, and managed lifecycle services. Consumer customers are served through gaming (OMEN, Victus, HyperX), mainstream and premium notebooks (OmniBook, Envy, Pavilion, Spectre lineage), Chromebooks and home printing. Industrial and graphics end-markets — print service providers, packaging converters, commercial publishers, production mail — are addressed through Indigo, PageWide and Latex presses. Additive manufacturing customers are served through Multi Jet Fusion and Metal Jet.
