“Market simulation is the next evolution of price optimization”
Leveraging AI optimization, Pricefx provides businesses a simulated response to various “what if” scenarios. Market simulation evaluates a range of products, the impact on volumes and optimizes pricing for the full portfolio. It simulates the impact of price change to a product on the surrounding products within the business’ own portfolio to identify potential market cannibalization. It predicts real behavior of customers and competitors by simulating the market response to price changes and demonstrates the long-term market impact including market share changes.
McKinsey’s Global AI Survey found that 40% of marketing and sales departments using AI achieve 6% or higher average revenue growth. In marketing and sales, respondents most often report revenue increases from AI use in pricing, prediction of likelihood to buy, and customer-service analytics. AI is credited with improving the accuracy, scale and speed of price optimization and business leaders report that adopting AI-based price optimization is among the best decisions they made before and during the pandemic to protect margins and resist descending into price wars. McKinsey forecasts that AI-based price and promotion have the potential to deliver between $259.1 billion to $500 billion in global market value.
