Analyzing Mobile Industry Strategies Across Product Life Cycle (PLC) Stages

Author(s) Naveen NMK
Country India
Abstract The PLC has long served as a foundational tool for crafting marketing and strategic decisions, yet its traditional four-stage model often falls short in fast-moving industries like the mobile sector. With rapid technological advancements, shortened product lifespans, and overlapping product generations, mobile devices defy the linear paths assumed in classical PLC theory. This research proposes a customized six-stage PLC model designed specifically for the mobile industry, comprising the Pre-Launch Hype, Introduction, Rapid Growth, Competitive Maturity, Discounted Survival/Substitution, and Obsolescence/Withdrawal stages. Employing a conceptual and qualitative methodology grounded in secondary literature, industry reports, and brand case examples including Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi, this study explores how key strategic areas such as pricing, marketing, cost management, promotions, and sales behavior shift at each lifecycle phase. By mapping these evolving strategies to each custom stage, the research delivers a dynamic framework better aligned with the constraints and opportunities of the current mobile landscape. The proposed model not only enhances theoretical understanding of lifecycle strategy in high-tech markets but also provides practical insights for firms looking to optimize product positioning, maximize profitability, and extend brand relevance amid accelerating innovation cycles. This paper contributes to both academic discourse and managerial practice by offering a more flexible, actionable PLC framework suited to the realities of today’s mobile industry.
Keywords Product Life Cycle (PLC), Mobile Industry, Marketing Strategies, Pricing Tactics.
