The introduction stage of the product life cycle is where a new product is launched into a market. In the growth stage of the product life cycle, the market has accepted the product and sales begin to increase. In the maturity stage of the product life cycle, sales will reach their peak. In the decline stage of the product life cycle, sales will begin to decline as the product reaches its saturation point.
The marketing lifecycle is less comprehensive than the concept of the product lifecycle in manufacturing, which encompasses all the stages a product goes through from its initial conception (beginning-of-life, or BOL) to its eventual disposal at the end of its useful life (EOL).
