Go to Amazon and search for go pro and you will see tons of white label Chinese products at quater of the price with exact same specs. Considering Amazon accounts for half of eCommerce, I can’t imagine the impact of sales for GoPro. Another examples are headlamps, computer peripherals, cables, headphones, hardware tools, coffee makers and so on. There is a massive brand extinction in progress where Western brands which took comfort in designing at home and manufacturing in China are confronted with exact same goods much cheaper. One thing I don’t understand is why companies like Go Pro can’t stop these clones entering US markets which clearly violated their design copyrights, patents, specs and sometimes even same sounding trademarks.
