the number of products sold by a firm as part of its PRODUCT RANGE. A firm may make many different products and many variants of each product in order to appeal to most market segments and maximize its potential sales.

Consequently, firms may aim to eliminate unnecessary variety in products or components by means of variety-reduction programmes and STANDARDIZATION of components.

the number of products sold by a firm as part of its product range.
