Cash cow
The product has a high market share but less market growth. A cash cow is the market leader and creates more cash for the business. Cash from the cash cow helps the business to fund star and question mark so it can be a cash cow in the future. Let talk about Apple. The Apple iPad has a high market share but less market growth. I pad is No.1 in the tablet industry but due to growth in the smartphone industry, the demand for I pad is getting low and there is less market growth. So Apple should use their cash of cash cow in star product.

Star
The product with high market growth and high market share. Star also generates good profit for the business. Because of high market growth company should fund star products, It can be a future cash cow for business. The Star product for Apple is the iPhone. The smartphone industry has good market growth in the future and I Phone is one of the market leaders of the smartphone industry.

Question Mark
Question Mark product has high market growth but less market share. Question Mark consumes more but gives less return. If businesses work and invest more in a question mark then it can be a star or cash cow in the future. In the case of Apple MacBook is a question Mark for them. In the future is a high growth laptop industry but Apple is not a market leader. If the company works more on MacBook it can the star product in the future.

Dogs
Dogs are that product rang they have low market growth and market share in the market. The dog’s product doesn’t give profit to the company or breakeven. There is less demand in the market for products. I pod is Dog for Apple. It also doesn’t give any return to the company. The firm should less focus on the dog’s product. Because the product is out of trend there are fewer chances of making a profit.

With the help of this chart, the business creates a product investment and product development strategy.
