    Answer: Market maturity

    Explanation:

    A market is said to be mature when it has gotten to a state of equilibrium. The state of equilibrium means when an absence of lack of innovation or significant growth and the demand is equal to the supply that is decided by the market forces.

    The maturity stage of the product life cycle explains that sales will peak and later slow down. At this stage, the sales growth has started to reduce and the product has reached widespread acceptance in the market.
