Analytics
Optimize price, promotion, assortment, and forecast demand for growth.
Inflation has led consumers to cut back on spending across many CPG and general merchandise categories. Yet everyday indulgences, like super-premium ice cream, remain resilient as shoppers continue to treat themselves. Despite this category growth, a regional grocer and a large multinational CPG brand were underperforming. Neither was achieving average market share or keeping pace with broader growth trends in super-premium ice cream.
Ahead of a key line review, the regional grocer’s ice cream merchant asked the CPG partner, “Should we expand our super-premium ice cream assortment?” While positive sales trends were evident elsewhere, the merchant was unsure if this would resonate with the grocer’s most loyal customers.
A leading manufacturer aimed to expand its flavor offerings at a club retailer by introducing a garlic parmesan bone-in wing. To build a compelling business case, the team used loyalty card data to demonstrate the product’s potential appeal and incremental value. The team leaned on Circana’s expertise to guide the analysis and support their expansion goals in the wing category.
Health and Wellness
In the immediate aftermath of the pandemic a large foodservice manufacturer needed to find a way to get a pulse on where the industry was headed. For years they relied on Circana’s customized forecasting capabilities for specific projects, but they now needed a more standard, quicker, ongoing, and affordable read on the broader market for better demand planning.
Foodservice
A leading, global food and beverage manufacturer has been losing value share in the UK for the past five years despite out-promoting the market in terms of percent volume sold on discount. In addition, one of the key retailers they collaborate with also promotes heavily, further eroding the category. Both the manufacturer and the retailer needed to identify ways to reduce the promotional intensity in the category.
Food and Beverage
A large beverage manufacturer was losing market share over the past year. The client wanted to revert the negative share trend without losing profitability but couldn’t determine whether a permanent price reduction versus in-out price promotions was the best strategy. They requested a full portfolio evaluation of their 46 brands to identify the best pricing strategy.
