| Forty-one percent of American shoppers now describe themselves as frequent store brand buyers, up from 36% just five years ago. Moreover, nearly one out of three consumers say that they are more likely now than a year ago to buy private label. In fact, the popularity of store brands in supermarkets is having a halo effect on home/office, household, and DIY products. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
