A '''Mature Market''' is one that has reached a state of equilibrium. A market is considered to be in a state of equilibrium when there is an absence of significant growth, or a lack of [[Innovation|innovation]]. There is stagnation in growth at this time. When supply matches demand the price decided by the [[Market Forces|market forces]] of demand and supply is called equilibrium price. Equilibrium price prevails in the market for a substantial period which may be from one day to one week or several months.

A '''Mature Market''' is one that is characterized by its state of equilibrium. The market may remain in this state for many years only to decline and fade away eventually. How [[Organization|organizations]] handle this stage of the [[Industry Life Cycle|market life cycle]] will determine how much more time they have left in the field.<ref>Definition - What Does Mature Market Mean?

 Here are four steps organizations can take to successfully increase sales and expand market share during the maturity stage.
 *Target a particular [[Market Segmentation|market segment]], preferably the highest spenders. An organization will have multiple market segments they cater to. It makes sense to [[Market Segmentation|target various types of consumers]] during the introduction and growth stages. However, during the maturity stage when sales slow, it makes sense to redouble efforts on the segment providing the highest earnings. By repositioning the [[Product|product]] or providing better promotional offers, organizations can spark an interest in this segment by their [[Customer|customer]] base.

 *Invest in [[Research and Development (R&D)|research and development]]. Apart from redesigning existing products, adding new products to your [[Portfolio|portfolio]] can give you a [[Competitive Advantage|competitive edge]]. But one thing to remember is that successful new product development during the maturity stage is largely dependent on the size of the organization, existing resources, duration of time spent in the current market and the needs of the customer base.
 Create a complementary or a supplementary product or offer a service that will add more value to the product you are selling. Conduct [[Market Research|market research]] and ask customers for their input. By investing in [[Research and Development (R&D)|R&D]], you can end declining sales.

While your star products may be profitable only for a short duration, the cash cows provide a steady flow of income in the long run. Identify these products and invest more monetary and [[Human Resources\|human resources]] in promoting these products. The one thing managers must remember is that the maturity period is when the late adopter segment may choose to engage with the organization. The cash cow products, being some of the longest surviving products, will be known to the customer, making them the choice of purchase.
		+	*Redesign your product. Despite being in the slow-growth maturity stage, the organization still has a chance to acquire new customers. Product redesigning will help give a fresh look to old products, which will create new appeal for customers. Change the packaging, increase or decrease the size of the product, add a new feature – there are multiple things that organizations can do to existing products to help them generate sales out of the declining market.
