What type of product demand is considered unpredictable?

Stable products
Seasonal products
Fashion products
Essential products

The correct answer is: Fashion products

Fashion products are considered unpredictable due to their reliance on changing consumer preferences, trends, and styles that can shift rapidly. Unlike stable products, which typically have steady and consistent demand, fashion products often experience fluctuations based on seasonal changes, marketing campaigns, and the popularity of certain trends. This unpredictability requires businesses to be agile in their production and inventory management, as demand can soar unexpectedly when a product becomes trendy or decline just as quickly when consumer interests shift. In contrast, stable products generally have predictable demand, seasonal products have demand that fluctuates at certain times of the year but is somewhat predictable, and essential products usually maintain consistent demand due to their necessity in daily life. All of these categories possess elements of predictability compared to fashion products, which are inherently more volatile in nature.
