Competitive Pricing

Consumers of processed foods are extremely price sensitive. Even a small change in pricing can have significant impact on consumption. For instance, the launch of PET bottles, new price points and package sizes in non-carbonated drinks (such as by Coca Cola) increased in- home consumption from 30 per cent to 80 per cent in a year’s time. Competitive pricing also enables penetration in the rural markets.
