The process of introducing a new product or service to the market for profit. It involves transforming an idea, invention, or research into a marketable commodity.
From 'commercial' (from Latin 'commercium,' meaning trade or commerce, from 'com-' together + 'merx' merchandise) plus the suffix '-ization' indicating a process. The concept gained prominence during the Industrial Revolution as scientific discoveries increasingly became commercial ventures.
Commercialization is where brilliant lab discoveries meet grocery store shelves! It's the often challenging bridge between 'Eureka!' moments and 'Will people actually buy this?' - turning scientific breakthroughs into products that improve daily life while generating profit.
