crane company
XXX, as Global Product Director for YYY, and ZZZ, as Global Product Director for AAA (self-erecting cranes), will be responsible for the global strategic vision for their respective products along with guiding an agile and effective decision making process on many aspects of these products.
They will leverage their in-depth market knowledge and ***competitive knowledge base*** to create and maintain a global strategy and operational marketing services for both ZZZ and AAA.
BBB will leverage his in-depth market and ***competitive knowledge*** to maintain a global crawler crane portfolio strategy as well as provide operational marketing services to support current crawler crane products.
Could it refer to 'competitors'?

A desirable/leading amount of ...
I would say that the implication here is that the amount of knowledge they have is greater than many other organisations. Therefore, they are perhaps a sort of leading authority on the intelligence and knowledge desired by users/clients of the organisation.

A type of organizational knowledge; the other 3 being Core, Non Core & New
Nick Milton describes four types of organizational knowledge: Core, Non-core, New, & Competitive. Moving competitive knowledge into core knowledge is a key part of this flow.
Competitive knowledge: These are areas of new evolving knowledge that the company knows a lot about. This knowledge may well give them a competitive advantage – the first learner advantage. In areas of evolving knowledge, the company that learns the best and learns the fastest, has the potential to outperform its rivals. The KM focus for competitive knowledge is on the development of best practice. As this knowledge is being applied around the business, there needs to be a continuous capture of knowledge from practice, comparing of knowledge through communities of practice, and development of best practice. Ownership of competitive competence probably lies with the communities and networks.
So, this has nothing to do with competitor.

[knowledge of] competitors and their products
This is merely re-iterating what Tony is saying. He said it first!
