Over the past year, the normalized price-sensitivity score increased by 43%, indicating a significant rise, while the year-over-year volatility of this score decreased by 30%, suggesting a slight stabilization. These metrics reflect the annual drift and stability in consumer-electronics price elasticity, derived from rolling twelve-month analyses. All estimates are based on a hierarchical mixed-effects model that integrates data across various regions, resulting in an overall price-effect *p*-value of 0.016. This suggests that pricing strategies in the Netherlands can be adjusted with a moderate expectation of stable demand.
