Thousands of new products are launched every year, but only a few survive long-term. According to GfK surveys, three quarters of all new product launches register a shopper base that is too small for the product to survive in the long term. For two thirds of products, the repeat purchase rate is too low to guarantee sustained success. Further evidence also shows that truly successful products generate 25% higher sales than the market average for innovations.
