Shrinkflation is a deceptive practice where sellers unexpectedly reduce the size or volume of their products. This increases the cost per unit of product while keeping the marked price the same, making it an effective strategy for increasing profit margins.
Shrinkflation is closely related to skimpflation, which instead adulterates or cheapens products to reduce production cost.
