Managing hundreds of SKUs is a daunting task for major FMCG brands, requiring a well-defined strategy. In the absence of a robust pack price architecture (PPA), brands may fail to satisfy customer demands and price points, leading to missed opportunities. In the inflationary environment we’re in today, brands must assess what PPA growth drivers can be leveraged to address evolving shopper missions, consumption occasions and need states.

​
