About This Webinar

Private label products are no longer considered niche – they’re quickly becoming a force in food retail. As consumers have become increasingly cost-conscious, private label products have surged in popularity, reaching a record $236.3 billion in sales in 2023. But what’s driving this rise?

This FI-exclusive webinar will dive into the factors fueling the growth of private label, including how the improved quality and greater variety of private label products are reshaping the food industry. A panel – including Peggy Davies of the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA) and Lou Biscotti of CBIZ – will address evolving consumer perspectives on value perceptions, and how private label products play to these trends. They'll also provide the private label outlook for 2025.

Join us to learn how brands can leverage the changing landscape to remain competitive.
