1 If A Co owns B Co and B Co owns C Co, B Co is a direct subsidiary of A Co and C Co is an indirect subsidiary of A Co.. 2 Any current fashion, fad, change in outlook, change of habit or preferences of a section of the population. For example, in many countries cigarette smoking is declining. Again, in many countries people are more concerned about the environmental impacts of their consumption habits and try to reduce their impact.

It is nothing to do with products, it is ownership of companies.
