PLMA Show-Chicago 2017

Why PLMA Chicago?

Every year Chicago hosts a unique event for suppliers interested in exploring the Private Label Business; this event organized by the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA) has linked retailers and suppliers for over 30 years. There is a growing trend among consumers favoring private label goods, as these are considerably more accessible than their national or commercial counterparts. Moreover, products listed as private label goods are seeing growth in both market share and units sold across various distribution channels such as drugstores and supermarkets. For example, 2015 was a great year for private label goods as these reached an all-time sales record of 118.4 billion USD, approximately an increase of 2.2 billion USD from the previous year. In addition, market share of private label goods across all distribution channels reached an all-time record of 17.7%. Value-added food products are some of the most sought after private label products; accordingly this market segment has great sales potential for SUSTA region companies.
