Unfortunately, this is akin to having a monopoly on the horse saddle market.

		A cursory search suggests the global horse saddle market is worth $4.5 billion. Kodak's annual revenue being $1 billion, having a monopoly on the horse saddle market would be huge for them. But even with it being a small market, if they're valued correctly and they've got a monopoly on the market that sounds like a great and sustainable position to be in.

		Demand for film has been rising over the past 5-10 years. Being the last major player in the color film market isn't a bad position to be in.

Fuji supposedly still produce colour film, but production seems intermittent. Harman, the company behind Ilford, is getting into colour film and recently released their second gen. Orwo still makes colour film. Lucky in China is supposedly going to start?

But yes - Kodak and Fuji's colour films are considerably better than the others.
