Sales growth is important because it suggests that demand for a company's products or services will be sustained or increasing in the future.
Growth rates differ by industry and company size. Sales growth of 5-10% is usually considered good for large-cap companies, while for mid-cap and small-cap companies, sales growth of over 10% is more achievable.
It is important to distinguish however between organic sales growth and acquisitive growth, as the former is more sustainable.
