Bus/Financial - Economics / earnings report
Japanese term or phrase: 需要(の)一巡
This term appears twice in an interim corporate earnings report. One: 需要一巡による伸び悩み, and the other: 需要の一巡と価格下落の影響により伸び悩んだものがある. Any help as to what it means and HOW I could better locate it myself would be appreciated.

round of demand
Explanation:
This is direct translation. What it's meant is that demand is nearly saturated in the market, so new sales tactic must be devised to stimulate another round of demand surge.
In your sentence it says anothe factor of stagnating sales (or revenue) is price decrease. So the company is suffering from the lost revenue or sales due to these factors.
That's my educated guess.
Good luck!

Thanks especially for the explanation, humbird. Based on that, I eventually worded it as "saturation in demand" in one site and "market saturation" in the other. Thanks! Can, I like your wording too; as it were, I did need a short noun phrase in these cases, but I'll definitely keep that in mind next time I run across the phrase.

agree  Can Altinbay: In fact, I think "demand has run its course" might be more like it - people have bought as many of the product as they are going to./ほんなら、"slowdown in growth due to the damand having run its course"

  -> おおきに。いつもシャープで脱帽します。そやけど in this case noun-phrase form may be more fit, depending on the context and course of sentence in the target language.

需要(の)一巡
cycle of demand


Explanation:
Clearly most established businesses have seasonal trends in demand. The term "cyle of demand" communicates that clearly, I believe, perhaps more so than "round of demand".

Explanation:
Shannon, you might be talking about replacement demands, new-product demands or else.

1) 建築需要では、好調な分譲住宅の建築などに支えられ、新築住宅着工戸数は2年連続で増加となりましたが、非住宅分野では＿オフィス需要の一巡＿や、大型建築投資の前年割れの状況が続き、全体としては前年を下回る厳しい状況となりました。（INAXの営業報告)

Asahi-shinbun of Nov.12 QUOTE「需要の一巡」という事態も念頭に置く必要がある。春に売れ行きが好調で４〜６月期のＧＤＰを押し上げた自動車は、７〜９月期にはマイナス要因となった。多くの民間エコノミストは「反動減だ」とみるが、新車登録台数は１０月も前年同期比３．４％減と落ち込みが続いている。バブル崩壊で長年買い替えを控えてきた層や、環境規制の強化にさらされた運送業者らの買い替え需要が一段落した可能性も指摘される。 UNQUOTE
