Also, the mediating effect of green product market agility was examined. The data has been drawn from a sample of 309 respondents with purposive sampling. The statistical relationships between the incorporated variables are examined through Confirmatory factors analysis and Structural equation modeling approach with the application of descriptive analysis, KMO and Bartlett’s test, rotated component matrix, convergent and discriminant validity. From the results, it is indicated in the direct effects that marketing innovation on pricing and promotion are the significant drivers of the firm’s marketing performance. Whereas, no significant direct relationship between marketing innovation on packaging and marketing performance was found.
