What factors contribute to the 'Market Decline' stage in product lifecycle management?

The 'Market Decline' stage in product lifecycle management is typically characterized by several factors. Firstly, the product may lose its appeal to consumers due to the emergence of new, more innovative products or changes in consumer preferences. Secondly, market saturation can occur, where the product has reached its maximum potential in the market. Thirdly, external factors such as economic downturns, regulatory changes, or shifts in industry trends can contribute to the decline. Lastly, internal factors such as poor product performance, lack of support, or strategic decisions to discontinue the product can also lead to a decline.

Question was asked on:

Market Development – the period when a new product is first introduced to the market with a proven demand for it, but without the full proof of technically in all respects. At this stage, sales are usually low and increase slowly. Market Growth (a.k.a. "Takeoff Stage") – the period when demand begins to accelerate and the size of the total market expands rapidly. Market Maturity – the period when demand evens out and grows, mostly only at the replacement and new family-formation rate. Market Decline – the period when the product begins to lose its appeal to consumers and sales drop.
