Detailed explanation-1: -Mass production lowered the costs of much-needed tools, clothes, and other household items for the common (that is, nonaristocratic) people, which allowed them to save money for other things and build personal wealth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mass production in factories made it possible to manufacture goods more cheaply and quickly. Huge markets for these goods were opening up in the new cities, and in the lands that the European nations were conquering and settling overseas.
Detailed explanation-3: -The coal-fired steam engine was in many respects the decisive technology of the Industrial Revolution. Steam power was first applied to pump water out of coal mines.

Once mass production was developed and perfected, consumer goods could be made for the broadest possible market. Anything consumers needed or desired could be made in larger quantities.
Detailed explanation-5: -Summary. Mass production is the industrial technique to produce large quantities of similar products in constant flows on production lines. The strategy focuses on low-cost production by using standardized and repetitive processes to manufacture the same line of products.
