4. Product Life Cycle
The product life cycle describes the stages a product goes through from when it
was first thought of until it finally is removed from the market.
The main stages of the product life cycle are:
1) Introduction (researching, developing and then launching the product)
2) Growth (when sales are increasing at their fastest rate)
3) Maturity (sales are near their highest, but the rate of growth is slowing down)
4) Decline (final stage of the cycle, when sales begin to fall)
Not all products reach this final stage.
Some continue to grow and others rise and fall.
