Demand Index

Definition

A comparative metric that measures relative consumer demand for a product, brand, or category against a defined benchmark, such as total market performance or a specific retailer. A demand index indicates whether demand is above or below average.

How It's Calculated

(Product or market demand ÷ Benchmark demand) × 100

Example

If a beverage brand has an index of 120 in a specific region, demand is 20% higher than the benchmark market; an index of 85 would indicate below-average demand.
