This study develops diffusion models for technological consumer products under the marketing environment when a product is marketed in a segmented market and observes two distinctive promotional strategies of mass and differentiated promotion; an under explored study area. Mass promotion strategy creates a spectrum effect in market with an aim to create wider product awareness and influence the market size. Whereas the differentiated promotion strategy plays major role in external influence component in the respective segment and target for adoption by the current potential segment. Previous studies on segmented diffusion models assumed only first time purchase and constant market size which may yield underestimated results and fail to give appropriate insight of the diffusion process. The study develops and validates generalized diffusion models for segmented market incorporating the repurchase behaviour of the adopter population and dynamic potential market size considerations. Performance of the proposed models is analysed on real life data for a new product marketed in four segments and compared with the previous study.

A pragmatic innovation diffusion model is proposed in the present chapter that interpolates stochasticity in the logistic formulation of the widely-acknowledged Bass model with dynamic market size. These irregular changes are caused due to uncertainty attached to the socioeconomic and political environment in which an innovation is positioned that affects the action of potential adopters leading to their non-uniform behavior. The aim of the current study is to find the analytical solution for the two dynamic market expansion structures, namely, linear and exponential under the influence of irregular fluctuations whose closed-form solutions were not possible in the existing literature. In addition to the changeable market size, the proposed innovation diffusion also incorporates the concept of repeat purchase. The anticipated stochastic differential equation based new product diffusion model is then expounded methodically using the Itô process and Itô's integral equation. Further, the model has been used to study the growth pattern of different consumer durable products.
