MARKET SATURATION
- The volume of a product or service in a marketplace has been maximized under present market conditions. At this point, further growth can only be attained through product improvements, increase in the overall consumer demand, or market share gains.
- Measurement of the extent of a product’s (or service’s) sales volume, in relation to the total number of potential customers (expressed as a percentage). To compute market saturation, multiply the sales volume of a product or service by 100, and then divide it by the number of total potential consumers.
