Definition
Erosion of a brand's core meaning when it is extended inconsistently or excessively into new categories, products, or segments. It reduces distinctive associations and weakens accumulated equity. The two typical mechanisms of exposure to dilution risk are brand extension (new categories) and line extension (variants within the same category).
