Shopper consumer intelligence - Shopper Intelligence - Intro

Granular pricing insights for brands and retailers

Price developments are a primary driver of shopper behavior.
Shoppers continuously adapt their purchase patterns in response to price shifts, making it essential to track how they seek value across the category.​

Market dynamics are rarely uniform.
Price evolutions and trading effects vary significantly by category, brand and retailer, creating a complex landscape that requires granular visibility. ​​

Data-driven pricing intelligence is a fundamental pillar of commercial strategy.
A clear understanding of the current pricing situation is necessary to make informed decisions and maintain a competitive edge.​

YouGov Price Pulse provides a purchase-based view of these market realities.
By isolating inflation from shifts in demand or assortment, we quantify shopper willingness to pay versus their tendency to look for alternatives. ​

Shopper choice

Inflation impacts both margins and loyalty

Inflation doesn’t just raise prices – it reshapes shopper choices. YouGov Price Pulse gives you a continuous, SKU-level understanding of how prices shift across categories, retailers and brands – and how consumers adapt when the cost-of-living changes. Identify when inflation hits, when shoppers switch, and where value is leaking.

With millions of household purchases tracked daily, YouGov helps you answer:

  • Are my price increases aligned with the category and competition?
  • Are shoppers accepting higher prices – or trading down?
  • Which retailers and target groups are most affected?
  • How is price sensitivity evolving over time?

Make pricing decisions based on behavior, not assumptions.

Powered by continuous consumer panel scanning, Price Pulse monitors:
