Summary.

AI-driven personalized pricing in retail and FMCG yields a 1-5% revenue uplift but faces challenges from data fragmentation, consumer skepticism, and regulatory scrutiny. Notably, 68% of US consumers feel exploited, and only 26% trust AI in retail settings, emphasizing transparency and fairness as critical trust drivers.

As algorithmic pricing evolves with GenAI, the focus shifts to balancing profitability with ethical practices.
