Gen Z, 80 million strong, is the next great consumer bulge and the most diverse, best-educated and most stressed-out generation in the country’s history. Gen Zers' shopping behavior is marked by their reputation as digitally astute; health, environmental and socially conscious; convenience-oriented, value-driven and seekers of authentic experiences. PLMA commissioned a survey of Gen Z with questions on their attitudes towards store brands, such as their awareness of the products, how often they buy them and how they compare them to national brands.

The Private Label Manufacturers Association has conducted what is believed to be the first nationwide survey on the habits and attitudes of SNAP participants towards shopping for food with their monthly benefits, with a particular focus on their purchase of store brand products. The purpose of the survey is to create a roadmap of ways retailers can encourage SNAP customers to spend more of their benefits on store brands with aggressive promotional strategies, especially during the first two weeks of each month when most states reload recipients’ EBT cards.
