Product Life Cycle
 The product life cycle (PLC) is a series of phases that a
product will go through in its “lifetime” in relation to the
profits and sales that it will collect. The period of time
over which an item is developed, brought to market and
eventually removed from the market is known as PLC. The
life cycle of a product is associated with marketing and
management decisions within businesses, and all products
go through five primary stages: development,
introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. Each stage
has its costs, opportunities, and risks, and individual
products differ in how long they remain at any of the life
cycle stages.
According to Prof. Kotler, “Product life cycle is an
attempt to recognize distinct stages in the sales history
of the product.”
 Every PRODUCT has a life cycle and asserts four
things about a PRODUCT:
 PRODUCTS have a limited life
 PRODUCT sales pass through different stages each
posing different challenges, opportunities & problems
to the seller
 Profits rise and fall at different stages
 PRODUCTS require different marketing, financial,
purchasing strategies at each stage
