Share, price and category expenditure - geographic market effects and private labels
Article Abstract:
A study on cross-section variations in private label growth investigated the impact of local market factors on private label share and pricing. It also assessed the effect of market structures variables on the interaction between private labels and national brands at both the retailer and manufacturer levels. The analysis also attempted to explore the role of private labels and promotion in expanding category sales. Among other results, it was found that industry concentration at both the manufacturer and retail level can significantly impact private label and national brand price.
