New Adoption Curve

Definition

A new adoption curve describes the typical pattern by which a novel technology or product gains acceptance and usage among a population over time. It generally starts with innovators, followed by early adopters, then the early majority, late majority, and finally laggards. This curve illustrates the rate at which a new offering penetrates a market. Understanding this curve helps project the growth trajectory and market penetration of digital assets and blockchain applications.
