What Are Non-Durable Goods?
Non-durable goods are any type of manufactured items that are not intended to last for an extended length of time. While there is some difference of opinion on how long a good can last and still be classified as non-durable, the general consensus is that any good that is not intended to last any longer than three years does fall into this category. Under the broad scope of non-durable goods, there are subclasses, such as perishable goods, semi-durable goods, and soft goods.
