pure-play
One industry only
Pure-play describes a company focused exclusively on one line of business or industry sector: a pure-play streaming service, pure-play semiconductor manufacturers.
The term comes from investment analysis, where pure-play stocks offer undiluted exposure to a specific market segment.
A pure-play internet retailer sells only online, unlike hybrid competitors with physical stores.
