The purchase process is a sequence of stages that a consumer goes through before, during, and after buying a product or service. Understanding this process is crucial in consumer behavior as it helps marketers predict buying patterns and design strategies that cater to consumer needs.

Each stage is influenced by a variety of determinants that affect consumer choices. The first stage, need recognition, occurs when a consumer identifies a gap between their current state and desired state, creating a sense of need or problem. This recognition can be triggered internally, such as hunger or thirst, or externally through advertisements, peer influence, or exposure to new products.
