Sales growth of private-label products was more than three times the rate of branded products in 2017, according to the Nielson Co. in its study of consumer goods. Nielson also said, “Retailer-branded, private-label products have surmounted stigmas of value and quality. In the last year, we’ve seen a complete reversal in growth trajectory compared to ...
