Ahah, cheers. Was just worried about those sentences, where three things spring to mind which I end up inserting. But yeah, spending time on forums like this one was an eye-opener for me. I expected differences between countries, but not this much.

Another thing to consider is that some brands are very big in the recreational markets, which really boost their presence.
In Australia Butterfly is the clear leader when it come to Club level, but at recreational level I suspect Donic might lead.
Joola used to be big and popular in the 80s/90s with products like Tango, but have dropped off a lot since those days.

The market share discussion is interesting stuff.
Not a complete list of users obviously, but you could also combine research with the revspin (ttdb) database.
Numbers of ratings and/or most used/popular (top 100)
Just an estimate based on top 100:
1. Butterfly 2. DHS/Donic/Xiom/Tibhar/Yasaka 7. Andro 8. Friendship/Nittaku/stiga, Joola is contending with Galaxy or something.
Blade much more tied, but still clear Butterfly first.
2. Stiga/Xiom 4. Donic/Yasaka. 6. Andro
Joola is maybe tied with Nittaku, Galaxy and Tibhar.
Can probably get more accurate numbers by combining number of reviews from each brand...
Though I wonder if revspin can date sort their reviews and get "nationality" statistics, for more relevant numbers.

Question is what do you call "market share"? You may get grasp of what are the most popular blades and rubbers but it has very weak link to actual market share. How many of these blades are actually sold new? How do you weight people who rotate rubbers on 1/2/3 month basis with people who buy new every year? And what is the ratio between revenue made on blades/rubbers and other things like balls, tables, apparel?
Then size of the market is critical. Companies will probably care much less about Luxembourg then Germany. And finally you can get big market share by lowering margins but you will bankrupt unless you maintain some critical margin threshold. So the money companies actually make on each type of TT equipment and in each market are the critical information. And we will hardly get these...

As market share is usually calculated on money bases, a company selling double less but on double price will have the same market share as a company with double sells on half of that price. But still more "popular" will be considered the one with more aggressive marketing and advertising, rather than which one is in more hands. If you ask 1000 Palio players which is the most popular TT brand, all of them will answer BTY.

Why would you buy a brand and ditch it down the drain then? It's not as if they are buying some secret technologies.

Market share is not only by money value
it is also by quantity
For example, Butterfly has market share based on players at WTTC as an example - that is on quantity.
For my dealings with my suppliers, we also use quantity as a target
