Part May Discovering Pockets of Demand 7 2021

REVENUE GROWTH IN AN INFLATIONARY ENVIRONMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The post-pandemic CPG industry has seen significant price inflation, driven by increased demand, out-of-stocks, reduction in promotion, and premiumization. As the economy rebounds, significant input price inflation and increased logistics costs are pressuring manufacturers to raise prices even as increased mobility is likely to moderate demand for in-home consumption categories. To win the share battle in this unchartered environment, traditional pricing practices alone will not be sufficient. Managers will need to be agile and leverage technology, advanced and newer, granular near real-time datasets to discover and capture profitable revenue growth opportunities.

PRICING CHALLENGES • Vaccination-enabled increased mobility, including return to schools, restaurants, entertainment, travel, etc., is expected to decrease in-home consumption for several categories, but the rate of decline is uncertain and uneven across categories. • In step with easing demand is an increase in consumer price sensitivity and grocery shoppers will be more mindful of the prices even as many other goods and services begin to compete for their wallet. • Manufacturers and retailers are fighting to retain new buyers acquired during the pandemic surge and will be eager to improve their share position as supply and demand reverts to a new equilibrium. • Managing pricing in this challenging environment calls for innovative, agile growth strategies, leveraging the full spectrum of revenue growth levers to spot and execute on profitable revenue opportunities. BEST PRACTICES IN REVENUE GROWTH MANAGEMENT • Growth leaders typically capture 3-5 points of topline growth and 5-10 points in ROI improvement from pricing & trade investments. • Leaders in revenue growth have a strong understanding of which brands and categories are less price sensitive and take pricing action accordingly. • Successful companies measure and monitor price elasticity changes closely and benchmark vs. category to understand other levers they need to pull besides pricing and promotion. • Innovators leverage machine learning to quickly identify pricing opportunities and to ensure planned pricing moves are executed. • Leading companies also monitor promotion execution to weed out underperforming promotions, e.g., feature and display conversion, deviations in promo event lift, and spotting and acting on unusual competitor promotions. • Leaders leverage a full range of price-pack architecture moves by understanding which consumers will pay what in which channels (e.g., convenience, club, dollar, grocery); they also consider differentiated pricing and promotions online vs. in-store. • They strengthen their brand value proposition by precisely delivering what consumers value and premiumize smartly. • Winning brands match their products to unique occasions and price innovations to realize value.
