Durable good
A durable good, or a hard good is an economics term for a good which does not quickly wear out, or more specifically; it yields services or utility over time rather than being completely used up when used once. Most goods are therefore durable goods to a certain degree. Perfectly durable goods never wear out.
Examples of durable goods include: Cars and washing machines.
Nondurable goods, or soft goods are the opposite of durable goods, sometimes they are defined as being used up when used once, or if they have a product lifespan of less than 3 years.
Examples or nondurable goods include: Cosmetics, food and most services.
