Category Dynamics

Understanding what consumers are purchasing in and across stores is key to addressing issues such as:

  • Which products drive category growth?

  • Which categories drive store growth?
  • Which categories drive department growth?
  • Where are the retail opportunities for my category?
  • How does my category perform by retail banner?

In addition, getting the right mix and number of products in the category is a challenge. Category Managers face issues, including:

  • Assortment – what is the most appropriate product mix?
  • What is the optimal number of SKUs within a category / brand?
  • Where will volume go if SKUs are deleted?
