THE ULTIMATE CPG DICTIONARY

Pareto’s 60/20 Law

A modification of the traditional Pareto (80/20) principle. In CPG, around 60% of sales come from the top 20% of customers — but the other 40% comes from many light buyers.

How it's Calculated:

Analyze sales contribution by heavy buyers (top 20%) vs. light buyers (bottom 80%).

Example:

In a snack brand, heavy buyers may account for 60% of sales, but the remaining 40% still comes from many one-time or light buyers.
