Durable good

In economics, a durable good or a hard good or  consumer durable is a good that does not quickly wear out, or more specifically, one that yields utilityover time rather than being completely consumed in one use. Items like bricks could be considered perfectly durable goods because they should theoretically never wear out. Highly durable goods such as refrigerators or cars usually continue to be useful for three or more years of use, so durable goods are typically characterized by long periods between successive purchases.
