Whar are the Small Parts Organizers Market characteristics: size, trends, types, key vendors, opportunities and market challengers
Hello! Thanks for your question about the market characteristics for Small Parts Organizers in the U.S.
The short version is that after searching extensively through market reports, industry research and trusted media articles, I've determined that the information you requested is not publicly available because there is no granular market data about small parts organizers in the U.S.
However, I was able to learn the market size for storage drawers (under which the category of small parts organizers fall) in 2013 and market characteristics for the overall home organization and storage products in the U.S. in 2017.
Below you will find a deep dive of my findings and methodology.
METHODOLOGY
To answer your question, I looked for market data about small parts organizers in the U.S. in market research databases such as IBISWorld and PRNewsWire. I also looked for market reports from market research firms but I found none that dealt directly with the market of small parts organizers. I did find, however, a market report that covers the U.S. market of home organizers and storage as a whole, which I used to get an overall picture of the market regarding trends, opportunities and challenges. I also found a 2013 market report that gave the market size for storage drawers, which is the closest category I could find for small parts organizers. Finally, I used Amazon to research the top vendors for small parts organizers. Please continue below to see the details of my research regarding your topic.

TRENDS
Packaged Facts published the report "Home Organization Market: Retail and Industry Trends and Analysis" for the U.S. market in April 2017. This report is behind a paywall but I was able to get the outline of the product and market trends relevant to small parts organizers.
• Users want easy solutions
• Users look for customized and flexible options for storage
• Users still demand specialty storage
• Product placements in "as seen on/in" media content builds up consumer awareness and trust
• Price is still a critical factor for consumers
• Products made in the U.S. are projected to grow stronger thanks to promotion efforts
TYPES
According to Amazon's top selected product and reviews for small parts organizers, it seems that the best-selling products are characterized as sturdy, functional, and easy to use. The top 3 products for this category are all black and white organizers and made of plastic material. The next ones on the list have clear cases or colorful accents on their frames. An item (The Original Pink Box PB12SPB 12-Drawer Small Parts Organizer, Pink) by The Original Pink Box stands out from the usual black-and-white combo and seems to be targeted toward female professionals such as teachers.
Other top products are designed to be carried like a case (as opposed to a standing cabinet) such as Stanley's STST14440 Click and Connect Organizer and 10 Pieces Clear Beads Tackle Box 003 by Tackle Boxes.
The prices of these top 10 small parts organizers range from $16.50 to $40.76.
