Product Life Cycle (PLC) describes the stages of a product’s life, including its inception, development, introduction to the market, growth, and eventual decline or discontinuation.
The 4 stages of the Product Life Cycle are: Introduction, Growth, Maturity, and Decline.
Introduction stage: It is the beginning of the product's journey in the market, where awareness is created.
Growth stage: The product experiences increased market acceptance and sales, gaining popularity.
Maturity stage: The product reaches a stable position with consistent sales and widespread acceptance.
Decline stage: Sales and market demand start to decline, with shifting consumer tastes and introduction of newer technologies.
Understanding and strategically managing the product lifecycle is crucial for businesses to ensure success.
