Category Pricing

Definition

The approach to setting and managing prices across all products within a retail category to achieve category-level objectives such as profitability, competitiveness, and shopper value perception. Category pricing considers price tiers, competitive benchmarks, and promotional strategy, not just individual item pricing.

How It's Calculated

Example

A retailer adjusts category pricing in the pasta aisle by maintaining entry-level price points on core items while allowing premium brands to carry higher everyday prices, supporting margin and shopper choice.
