Geography
2026Prestige’s business is concentrated in North America, which accounts for the large majority of revenue, with the United States and Canada as its core markets. The company also sells in Australia and certain other international markets, giving it a smaller but meaningful non-North American footprint. Geography matters because the company relies on retail distribution networks, third-party manufacturing, and cross-border supply chains to serve these markets.
