ITPEC FE Morning April 2022 — Question 67 of 80

The introduction stage is when a newly launched product enters the market. Sales are low
because the product is unknown, so companies focus on building product recognition and

target early adopters — consumers willing to try new products before the mainstream.

Why not others:
- (b) Describes the maturity stage — demand growth slows, companies defend market share.

- (c) Describes the decline stage — sales and profits fall, companies consider market exit.

- (d) Describes the growth stage — sales rise rapidly and new competitors enter the market.

Key rule: Introduction = low sales + awareness campaigns + early adopters only.
