lõpptoote

Lõpptoode, or final product, is a term used in Estonian economics and industry to describe the last output of a production process that is ready for sale or use by end consumers or businesses. It represents the completed good after all intermediate inputs have been transformed, combined, or added.

The concept is distinguished from intermediate goods, which are inputs used to produce other goods. Lõpptooted are the items that enter the market as finished, saleable products, while intermediate goods are further processed or incorporated into other products. This distinction is important for accounting, inventory management, and value-chain analysis, as it helps prevent double counting in price and value calculations.

Examples of lõpptooted include a completed automobile, a finished smartphone, a loaf of bread, or a manufactured piece of furniture. In addition to tangible goods, the term is sometimes extended in practice to denote completed service outputs when viewed as a final, deliverable product to a customer, although this usage varies by industry.

In national accounts and business planning, lõpptooted are considered at the stage of sale to the final user, with their value added contributing to gross domestic product or company revenue. The concept supports classification, pricing, and quality control across production, distribution, and retail channels.
