Pricing Power
Description
Pricing power means a company’s ability to raise prices without losing many customers.
In simple terms, pricing power shows whether a company can charge more and still keep demand.
Pricing power is important because it can protect profit margins when costs rise. Companies with strong brands, unique products, or limited competition often have better pricing power.
For example, if a company raises prices by 10% and customers keep buying, the company may have strong pricing power.
Pricing power is not unlimited. If prices rise too much, customers may switch to cheaper alternatives.
