“The way we look at it is…it’s a cyclical category, but our view is, with our model, we can take share in a down market, and we can take even more share in an up market,” he said.

“We don’t view the cyclicality of it as something that should restrain our ability to grow. While the market is…not a growth market from the total addressable market growing standpoint, the truth is…there’s a large number of participants, and it’s very, very fragmented. The ability to take share is actually a very real thing because…it’s a category that has a lot of passion and excitement in it,” he added.
