A special area is being set aside for DIY products, housewares, automotive care and garden products at the international “World of private labels” trade fair
The growth of private labels in these four areas is occurring at a time when the market share of private labels has reached new peaks in hundreds of food and non food categories: according to an ACNielsen analysis of more than 1 950 product categories, private labels account for almost half of the items sold in the United Kingdom, more than one third in Germany and Belgium, and more than one fifth in France and the Netherlands.
From a study carried out by Euromonitor it emerges that the European DIY trade increased its sales of private label products by an average of 23.2 per cent in the mid-nineties. Private label DIY products are continuing to grow in significance, as retailers make every effort to differentiate their product offer from that of their immediate competitors and to increase their profit margins.
