the “product life cycle” described by economists is similar to the human life cycle. during the first stage—growth—the product is being developed much as a human develops from infancy to, say, young adulthood. at the next stage—maturity—the product resembles a successful adult: it has gained a solid reputation and is at the peak of its earning power. finally comes the stage of decline, when the product loses energy and strength, just like a person in old age.

the text is comparing a human's life cycle to one of a product.

The text begins with an explanation of the term product life cycle. After the explanation is provided, the text seems to go on to provide numbers of comparisons of the product life cycle.
