Growth Index KPI Description
Growth Index KPI is an indicator that measures the product’s sales evolution compared to market’s sales evolution. It answers the question: “Is my product’s sales growing/declining faster or slower than the market’s?”. It provides similar insights to Market Share Growth but has a different calculation formula.
Formula:
$$
\text{Growth Index} = 1+\left(\left( \frac{\text{IndividualCurrentSales}}{\text{IndividualPreviousSales}} - 1 \right) - \left( \frac{\text{MarketCurrentSales}}{\text{MarketPreviousSales}} - 1 \right)\right)
$$
