| Abstract: | The position of line extensions as a product policy option remains unchallenged. Estimates of their share in new product launches in consumer goods markets range from 80 to 95 %. A problem that will always be connected with the introduction of a line extension is cannibalization. But not only the extent of cannibalization is important. The sales of each product can be split into the three components, competitive substitution, cannibalization, and primary demand. The authors propose a simple method of decomposing line extension sales. The individual sales components can be measured with least squares techniques which is shown with an empirical study on line extensions in the market for pharmaceuticals. |
