Rising inflation has been putting severe pressure on consumers worldwide.

Meanwhile, the phenomenon known as “shrinkflation” has been gaining attention.

Shrinkflation refers to a situation where the price of a product remains the same or even increases, while the weight, size, or quantity of the product decreases.

​

It can be difficult for the average consumer to notice when the amount of a product is reduced in this way.

​

But no matter how small the change is, it will eventually become apparent to more observant consumers.

​

Companies have resorted to this tactic due to rising costs for labor and raw materials, but it has led to a decline in consumer trust.

“Skimpflation” is a similar phenomenon, where prices rise, but the quality of goods or services declines.
