cannibalisation
C1CEFR level
65/100Rarity: rare
TechnicalRegister
The reduction in sales of an existing product caused by a company's own newer offering.
The low-cost sub-brand drove volume but the cannibalisation of the flagship eroded margins.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
