It depends on trends and innovations, and their total sales are affected by disposable income (expansions increase disposable income while recessions decrease it).
FedEx is also affected severely by economic recessions or expansions. Since FedEx ships and transports goods, when the economy is booming, FedEx is doing excellent. But if the economy starts to cool down or enters a recession, the amount of goods transported falls.
