Marketing - Marketing / Market Research / Hair care product
Japanese term or phrase: 一斉切り替え
Appears to mean they pulled one product and replaced it with another one. But what's the standard wording for this in English? (It stands alone, so it needs to be concise.)

Thanks, Ganesh-san. I still still think there must be a term out there that distinguishes between 一斉切替 and 自然切替, but it's eluding me. Your reference was helpful, and "substitution" does sound better than change, conversion, etc. here, so I'll give you the points.
