Industries

Helping clients meet their business challenges begins with an in-depth understanding of the industries in which they work. That’s why KPMG LLP established its industry-driven structure. In fact, KPMG LLP was the first of the Big Four firms to organize itself along the same industry lines as clients.

Pricing and commercial strategy

Gain competitive advantage by creating and executing winning pricing strategies that foster innovation and drive sustainable impact.

FPO placeholder

A sound pricing strategy remains a very effective profit lever in business and can propel your organization to the next level of performance. We typically find 3% - 8% return on sales in incremental impact driven by type of Industry and level of starting pricing maturity.

Many organizations lack the strategic mindset, execution ability, and discipline to unlock value from pricing. Without a clear “owner” of pricing and cross-functional linkages, many organizations struggle to set a strategy and achieve next-level pricing capabilities.

The KPMG Pricing and Commercial Excellence team can help.

Our deep industry knowledge, cutting-edge methodologies, and industry-leading data and analytics capabilities can help you choose the right solution to help deliver value for your business and customers.
