About PLMA

Private label products, also known as store brands or own brands, are goods produced by manufacturers specifically for retailers. These products are sold under the retailer’s brand name rather than a national brand, offering consumers an alternative option often at a lower price point.  Store brands have grown into a $230 billion industry in the U.S.

The PLMA Trade Show features a vast exhibition floor where exhibitors display a wide range of private label products, including food and beverages, household and personal care items, health and wellness products, pet care products, and more. The exhibition provides retailers with the opportunity to explore new products, trends, and innovations in private label manufacturing.

The PLMA Trade Show serves as a valuable platform for retailers and manufacturers to connect, negotiate partnerships, and explore business opportunities in the private label sector. By showcasing the latest products and innovations, the trade show helps retailers differentiate their offerings and meet the evolving needs and preferences of consumers.  PLMA has consistently received a prestigious Gold 100 ranking as a top U.S. trade show.

In 2024, there were more than 1800 exhibitors from 60 countries.  Exhibitors ranged from small and medium-size companies to well-known national brand makers who also supply store brands.  An interesting takeaway from the show statistics reported 70% of shoppers have explored private label products since the pandemic.  Gen Z product preferences are driving the development of trend-forward products that are healthy and sustainable.  Sustainability was everywhere, from eco-friendly packaging to carbon-neutral product lines.  Private label brands are thriving!
