Lesson 4: Tools Of Analysis<\/h2>\n

VI. Life Cycle Analysis – 4 stages<\/h3>\n

LCA is The preferred tool for eco-design, and as such, it is a very important tool for companies’ CSR strategies.<\/h5>\n
Thanks to LCA, companies can reduce the ecological footprint of their products as part of their CSR strategy if they act and restructure their operations.<\/h5>\n
LCA is, therefore, often used in companies’ CSR reports.<\/h5>\n

This series is usually divided into 4 stages that are presented below:<\/h4>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Product Life Cycle | Introduction
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
This is the moment when the product first arrives on the market.
This stage is characterized by an aggressive market strategy with plenty of product promotion, together with the distribution of the product in a few distribution channels.
At this point, not much profit is expected and the real goal is to start having the first sales and create awareness around the product or brand.<\/h5>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Semi-autonomous cars are a good example of a product going through the ‘introduction’ phase of its life cycle.
While autonomous cars are not (yet) for sale, these vehicles that already available for the more curious early adopters.
The price of these cars is still high, as there isn’t much competition.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Product Life Cycle | Growth
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
In this phase, the product is already known in the market, and sales are expected to grow in big numbers.
This means that profits start coming in and the product starts conquering a significant market share and becomes relevant within its market.<\/h5>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Electric cars already have a significant share of the overall car market.
There is already some competition happening, the number of electric charging points is growing and this technology is improving (especially when it comes to the range of the vehicle) and proving to be more ecological than fossil-fuel-powered cars.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Product Life Cycle | Maturity
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
In this period, sales rates slow down and stabilize.
Price wars and sales promotions become common at this point and some weak players exit the market.<\/h5>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Conventional car brands with models that last for a long time — like the ‘Focus’ model for Ford are a good example of a product crossing this life cycle period.
Its price is not very high (compared with other brands in the same specific market) and it managed to reach its maximum market penetration thanks to constant upgrades and car redesigns.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Product Life Cycle | Decline
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
At this point, sales start dropping as the product is no longer useful or relevant to consumers because of better or alternative products that showed up.
Products are withdrawn as price wars continue and cost control is the step out for many products in this period.<\/h5>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The sales of diesel-powered cars are falling, mostly due to environmental concerns from governments that are setting deadlines for diesel cars to be banned from some cities and countries.
They are losing market share to other substitute products like electric cars and they will slowly reach the end of their life cycle.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
This is the moment when the product first arrives on the market.
This stage is characterized by an aggressive market strategy with plenty of product promotion, together with the distribution of the product in a few distribution channels.
