Compare the two phrases:

... at a much reduced price...

versus

... at a much-reduced price...

Is a hyphen required here or it's unnecessary?

I believe it's a question of preference. Compound adjectives are often hyphenated, but it's not necessary. Use a hyphen if it provides clarity, when not using one would be confusing.
