Causes of New Product Failures
  • One study estimated that as many as 80 of new
    consumer packaged products failed.
  • Only about 40 of new consumer products are
    around 5 years after introduction.
  • Why?
  • Overestimation of market size,
  • Product design problems,
  • Product incorrectly positioned, priced or
    advertised,
  • Product may have been pushed despite poor
    marketing research findings,
  • Costs of product development, or
  • Competitive actions

Improving New-Product Success
  • New product success depends on having a
  • Unique superior product (one with higher quality,
    features, and value in use),
  • Well-defined product concept (a defined target
    market, product requirements, and benefits).
  • To create successful new products, the company
    must
  • understand its customers, markets and
    competitors,
  • develop products that deliver superior value to
    customers.

Screening
  • Process to spot good ideas and drop poor ones as
    soon as possible.
  • Many companies have systems for rating and
    screening ideas which estimate
  • Market Size
  • Product Price
  • Development Time Costs
  • Manufacturing Costs
  • Rate of Return
  • Then, the idea is evaluated against a set of
    general company criteria.
