6. Food product developments – line extensionsAdvantages:meet consumer needs and increased market shareincreased shelf space, increased brand prominence and increased company promotionas processing and formulation are similar to existing product, new product is inexpensive and easier to producemanufacturer already has appropriate equipment and trained staff.Disadvantages:if product doesn’t meet consumer’s needs, product maybe rejectedif sensory preferences don’t meet consumer expectations that is colour, flavour, the product maybe rejectedif unsuccessful, a line extension may affect company’s image.
