Background of the study
Ethical pricing strategies are crucial in industries where consumer trust and product efficacy are paramount, such as the pharmaceutical sector. In Abuja, pharmaceutical companies face increasing scrutiny over pricing practices, particularly during times of economic stress. Ethical pricing involves setting prices that reflect fair value without exploiting consumers, while also ensuring that product quality and safety are maintained (Ogunleye, 2023). This study assesses how ethical pricing strategies impact consumer perception of value for a pharmaceutical product. It examines the role of transparency in pricing, the alignment between price and product quality, and the influence of regulatory compliance on consumer trust (Ibrahim, 2023). The research explores whether ethical pricing can enhance consumer perception of value and foster long‑term loyalty, even when product prices are higher than average. Data will be collected through consumer surveys, price comparison analyses, and regulatory reviews to determine the effectiveness of these strategies and offer recommendations for optimizing ethical pricing practices (Afolabi, 2024).
Statement of the problem
Pharmaceutical companies in Abuja encounter challenges in implementing ethical pricing strategies that enhance consumer perception of value. Despite the need for fair pricing, consumers may perceive high prices as exploitative if not accompanied by transparent communication regarding product quality and safety (Ogunleye, 2023). This disconnect can lead to reduced trust and lower purchase intention, adversely affecting brand reputation. The absence of clear ethical guidelines in pricing further complicates consumer perceptions and can result in skepticism regarding product value. This study addresses these challenges by examining the impact of ethical pricing on consumer value perception and proposing strategies to improve transparency and fairness in pricing practices (Ibrahim, 2023).
Objectives of the Study
To evaluate ethical pricing strategies used for a pharmaceutical product.
To assess their impact on consumer perception of value.
To recommend improvements for transparent and ethical pricing practices.

The research contributes to academic literature on ethical pricing and offers practical recommendations for enhancing value perception in the pharmaceutical industry (Ogunleye, 2023; Ibrahim, 2023).
