Price Tiers & Ladders

Map the structural price architecture of any FMCG category — where volume lives today and where growth is moving.

The Hook

The Hook

The core tier holds 50% of volume. The premium tier holds 2%. Guess which one is growing.

In a typical mature FMCG category, the Core tier (price index 95–105) captures half the volume but declines roughly 0.5% a year. Meanwhile the Super Value tier (<85 index) grows at ~4% and the Upper Core tier (105–115) at ~8%. The competitive landscape shifts underneath you — and you only see it when you explicitly map the tier structure. Every Price Pack Architecture decision starts with understanding which tiers exist, how big they are, and where growth is migrating.
