English term or phrase: it is more than holding its own
I have a doubt with this phrase.

Succeeding in the clothing business is tougher than toys, both because there is more competion and because retailers have only about 10 weeks to sell merchandise before the change of season. But the clothing company says IT IS MORE THAN HOLDING ITS OWN.

Thanks!
