Another term from my article about investing in innovation.
"Die weiter wachsende Konsumpolarisierung in der Bevölkerung sowie der zunehmende Wettbewerb im Handel kennzeichnen weitere Rahmenbedingungen.
Hohe Flopraten bei neuen Produkten
**Auf diese Rahmenbedingungen treffen neue Produkte, wenn sie auf den Markt kommen. Auf 25.000 bis 30.000 schätzt die GfK die Anzahl der Versuche, sich in den Regalen zu behaupten. Die Floprate liegt zwischen 60 und 80 Prozent. "
Actually, I'm not sure if the verb here is treffen or auftreffen. Does it mean that new products meet these conditions when they are launched on the market? Or that they impinge or encroach upon them?

New products *come across* these conditions when introduced onto the market...
or maybe even:
new products *face* these conditions when... (die Produkte müssen sich also den Rahmenbedingungen *stellen*).
"These conditions are the challenge new products have to meet when introduced onto the market" is probably going a bit too far, but that's what is ment there (so just to give you an idea of what "treffen" means here)
