What is pricing analysis?

Pricing analysis is the process of using data and analytics to determine the optimal price for a product or service. It involves gathering information about customer behavior, competitor pricing, and market trends to make informed decisions about pricing. 

There are several data and analytics methods used for pricing analysis, including: 

1. Customer segmentation: Dividing customers into groups based on similar characteristics such as age, gender, location, and spending habits. This helps to identify which customer segments are more likely to pay higher prices for a product. 
2. Competitor analysis: Gathering information about competitors’ pricing strategies, product offerings, and market share to identify areas where pricing adjustments can be made. 
3. Demand forecasting: Predicting the demand for a product or service based on historical data, market trends, and external factors such as economic conditions. 
4. Price elasticity analysis: Determining how responsive customers are to changes in pricing by analyzing historical sales data and testing different pricing strategies.
