New Product Development (NPD) is a term used to describe the process of bringing a new product or service from concept or idea to market. There are two important aspects involved in the NPD process: one involves market research and market analysis to identify the product need and the other involves the actual reduction to practice through product design, and detail engineering.  Companies typically see new product development as a critical step in generating and commercializing sustainable product sales.

There are several general categories of new products. Some are new to the market (ex. DVD players into the home movie market), some are new to the company (ex. Game consoles for Sony), and some are completely novel and create totally new markets (ex. the airline industry). When viewed against different criteria, some new product concepts are merely minor modifications of existing products while some are completely innovative to the company
