Introduction
Pricing is no longer static.
In 2025, successful e-commerce brands adjust prices hourly, not monthly.
The secret behind this agility? Competitor price intelligence.
What Is Competitor Price Intelligence?
It’s the process of collecting and analyzing competitor pricing data across platforms like:
- Amazon
- Flipkart
- Walmart
- Shopify stores
This data includes:
- Base price
- Discounts
- Stock status
- Seller positioning
Why Price Intelligence Is Critical in 2025
1. Marketplaces reward competitive pricing
Better prices = higher visibility.
2. Festival pricing wars
Sales like BBD and GIF change prices every few minutes.
3. Customers compare instantly
One price mismatch can lose a sale.
How Brands Use Price Intelligence

|---|---|
| Dynamic pricing | Higher conversion |
