摘要

This paper presents an innovative approach to sustainable product development, emphasizing the integration of market characteristics, consumer behavior, and competitive analysis into the design process. The study delves into existing literature, identifying gaps in the traditional methodologies that often overlook the nuanced interplay between market forces and customer preferences. Our findings suggest that sustainability in product development is not merely an outcome of environmentally conscious practices but also a result of meticulous design and strategic market positioning. By analyzing the relationship between price, quality, and consumer demand, we develop a demand zone estimation model that predicts customer choices based on performance metrics, leading to informed design decisions that align with market expectations. The proposed model is distinct in its simplicity and practicality, offering a bridge between theoretical constructs and real-world applications. We conclude that sustainable products are a convergence of optimized design, market-centric pricing, quality considerations, and an understanding of consumer behavior. This holistic approach not only enhances the viability of products in competitive markets but also contributes to the broader goals of sustainability by fostering products that consumers are drawn to and value. Through this research, we aim to contribute a robust framework to the field of sustainable product development, offering a comprehensive strategy that reconciles business objectives with consumer needs and environmental aspects.
