At some point the rate of growth will slow and, the product will enter a new phase of life cycle is known as Maturity stage.
The maturity stage is divided into three stages :
A) In the beginning sales increases but at declining rate. B) In second stage sales rate remain stable. C) In third stage sales begin to decline.
The life cycles of various brands of toothpaste illustrate quite well the erratic behavior of branded product life cycles. the sales of specific brands of toothpaste between the years 1936 and 1982. Eighteen brands of toothpaste are illustrated. Note that most have very erratic life cycles that bounce around all over the place. A couple of brands (i.e. Colgate and Crest) possess the familiar "S- shaped" life cycle patterns. Other brands, however, possess curves with substantially greater degrees of variability. Note also the differing lengths of the life cycles. The dominant brands, including Colgate and Crest, have been around for long periods of time and possess strong sales patterns. In contrast, other brands such as Ammident, Chlorodent, Macleans, Peak, Dr. Lyons and Squibb have seen relatively short life cycles. Shorter life cycles often are associated with brands targeting smaller, more narrowly defined market segments or niches.
