price sensitivity

Budget-driven buying behavior

Price sensitivity is how much a change in price affects consumers' willingness to buy something.

High price sensitivity means small price increases drive customers away; low price sensitivity means buyers will pay more without much resistance.

Luxury goods typically show low price sensitivity, while commodities show high: Budget airlines compete on price sensitivity.
