Price
Tiered Pricing for Consumer Goods
Sigma uses tiered pricing across premium deli lines and value brands to reach households from top 20% spenders to low-income families, driving a national market share near 12% in 2025 for processed meats. This mix preserved volumes in 2023–25, with revenue stability: branded premium grew 6% CAGR while value tiers rose 9% CAGR. Prices are locally indexed to purchasing-power parity and competitor price gaps, adjusting weekly in 60 regional markets.
Raw Material Pass-Through Mechanisms
In Alpek (petrochemicals) and Nemak (aluminum castings), pricing links to raw-material costs like paraxylene and primary aluminum; contracts use pass-through formulas tied to benchmarks (ICE paraxylene, LME aluminum) so sellers can raise prices when input costs rise. In 2024 Alpek disclosed EBITDA margins protected by quarterly pass-throughs after paraxylene spiked 18% YTD; Nemak cited LME aluminum up 12% in 2024 as pass-throughs preserved ~150–200 bps of margin.

ALFA benchmarks export prices continuously, comparing unit prices, freight and tariffs against US and EU peers; in 2025 ALFA targets landed-cost parity within 3% of top competitors while preserving a 7–9% gross margin.
Volume-Based Discounting
