The Impact of Premiumization on the Economy

Premiumization in the economy involves companies focusing on selling higher-priced goods to fewer customers to maintain or increase profits. This trend is akin to gentrification, where luxury versions of products are emphasized and sold at elevated prices. Examples include Rolls-Royce cars and WD-40 offering a pricier version with a smart straw. However, this approach can limit product availability for middle or lower-class consumers, potentially exacerbating inflation.
