Join Morningstar DBRS for a Frontline Perspectives webinar as we examine the growing penetration of private-label CSPs globally, and the implications thereof for manufacturers of branded CSPs and grocers.

Although inflation is normalizing, prices of consumer staple products remain elevated. This, combined with high interest rates that are only slowly declining, has continued to squeeze consumer purchasing power, contributing to the growing penetration of private-label CSPs. In 2022 and 2023, sales of private-label CSPs grew considerably more than those of their branded counterparts, and now account for around 40% and 20% of the total grocery market value in Europe and the U.S., respectively, while in the U.K., private-label CSPs make up more than 50% of all grocery sales. Does the proliferation of private-label CSPs signal the beginning of the end for branded consumer product companies?
