Consumer Response to Downsizing

Pack Price Versus Pack Size

Pack size elasticity is about 1/4th the pack price elasticity. Furthermore consumers consistently under-estimate pack size changes, especially if it involves changes in all three dimensions (width, height and depth).

This means if manufacturers want to grow the average price per ml and / or profitability – it makes sense to evaluate the options available to reduce the pack size without significant investments in the upgradation of product lines before increasing  list prices.
