individual segment


Explanation:
Hello,

I would say it can only be "individual segment", used a lot in the business/economic reports.

This doesn't seem to be "component" either.



Example sentence(s):
  • The online gaming sector can be subdivided into different segments, with the largest individual segment being online sports betting.
