Glossary•

Nominal value growth: –

Percentage change in value sales (expenditures) as measured by the total basket of reported product categories

•

Unit value growth (≈

‘price’

change): –

Percentage change in the average retail price per unit in the total basket of reported product categories

–

The unit of volume in the basket varies by category (e.g. litres, kilograms, tonnes, etc) –

The change in average price per unit may result from: –

Price changes of individual products –

Change in the mix of purchased products; more or less expensive products, more or less promotions, etc.

–

Channel switching; more or less purchases in discount stores, or hypermarkets, or convenience outlets, etc.

–

Product or channel mix changes may be induced by price change or may just be the result of market dynamics.

–

The unit value growth reflects how consumers experience ‘cost of living’ in their actual grocery shopping behaviour.

•

Volume growth:–

Percentage change in purchased volume (quantity) of products •

The three components are related:–

ValueGrowth = UnitValueGrowth * VolumeGrowth
