Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies are facing unprecedented challenges with soaring wholesale costs—up by 35% since 2019.

Retailers and consumers are pushing back against further price hikes.

In this new landscape, understanding cross-price elasticity is not just beneficial—it's crucial. As a result, IT, data, and analytics leaders need to evolve revenue growth management capabilities to develop better strategies. One key approach is to develop cross-price elasticity (CPE) capabilities to better navigate this new normal.

How CPGs Can Improve Pricing Strategy and Execution

Building a Data Foundation:Develop first-party data to drive product innovation, distribution, and pricing strategies. Enrich data, build a harmonized commercial data lake, and create foundational analytics.

Enabling Predictive Analytics: Use robust data science techniques to accurately measure CPE and demand transfers. Model and understand the impact of price changes before implementing them.

Developing Prescriptive Analytics Competencies: Optimize and recommend new prices considering customer price zones and product levels. Connect analytics with demand forecasts.

Creating Advanced Pricing Capabilities: Adapt to economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and consumer demand volatility. Use levers such as optimized cross-price elasticity, shrinkflation, and channel shifts.
