I'm the first to admit my English grammar est terrible 
. My point is still valid and wow I got it across considering English is my second language. At least I'm not like the theorist around here spewing about topics they know nothing about. Evaluate the content and not the delivery, you can learn allot more.

Shimano's bicycle revenue in 2013 was $2.1 BILLION. Campy's was $150 million.
Shimano's revenue is FOURTEEN TIMES Campy's in the component group market, not 2X.

It's hard to say exactly since SRAM hasn't released sales figures since 2010.
SRAM Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If you take an average of SRAM's sales over the past 4 years, and use Shimano and Campy's most recent sales data, AND assume that Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo are the only 3 players in the component group game (which they are not) market shares are approximately:
78% Shimano ($2.1 billion)
17% SRAM ($450 million, extrapolated from 2007-2010)
5% Campagnolo ($150 million)
After skimming through the article, I'm more concerned about campy than I was before: they seem arrogant and inflexible. I do think they will be around for a long time, however. I don't think they will be or want to be a large market share player in the game ever again.

Most of you are too fat for Campy.
"If you weigh 82 kg/180 lbs or more, you must be especially vigilant and have your
bicycle inspected more frequently (than someone weighting less than 82 kg/180
lbs) for any evidence of cracks, deformation, or other signs of fatigue or stress.
Check with your mechanic to discuss whether the components you selected are
suitable for your use, and to determine the frequency of inspections." --Record RD manual

I've studied foreign languages, so I get it.
I apologize for the grammar slam.
