The market situation refers to a screen showing the store sales demands for the current week. These are in five categories: very bad, bad, normal, good and very good. Products with good and very good market conditions will be in high demand during that week, so sales volumes in stores will increase significantly. In the case of bad market conditions, sales volumes will decrease significantly. The market status screen also provides information on the tax rate of the products, the store where they are sold, the facilities where they are produced as raw materials, the raw material content, R&D development times and prices.
