Online Assortment Reshaping E-commerce Performance in Sauces, Dips and Condiments
26 May 26This article explores how online assortment strategies are reshaping e-commerce performance in US sauces, dips and condiments. Using Euromonitor’s Passport E-commerce and Via SKU tracking data, it shows that many leading retailers achieved strong sales growth while reducing SKU counts, highlighting a shift from range expansion towards more focused, higher-performing assortments. The analysis also reveals growing emphasis on affordability, with retailers such as Walmart, Target and Kroger lowering the share of products priced above USD5. The findings suggest that successful e-commerce strategies increasingly depend on careful assortment curation, value positioning and balancing consumer choice with profitability in a price-sensitive environment.
