Abstract
While many companies may be hesitant to launch new products during an economic downturn, research shows that doing so can be a successful marketing strategy for some types of products. Evidence from the automotive and fast-moving consumer goods sectors points to opportunities to capture market attention and willingness to buy, particularly late in a recession, when competitors have pulled back due to uncertainty.
