Product adoption is the process by which an individual begins to use a new product while the diffusion of innovations is how a new product spreads through a population.

The stages in the adoption process are awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, adoption and confirmation.

Individuals may be classified according to their readiness to adopt new products including innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards.

Five product characteristics that have an important effect on how quickly (or if) a new product will be adopted by consumers are relative advantage, compatibility, product complexity, trainability and product observability.
