What is private label?

Private label products are products that are manufactured or provided by one company for offer under another company’s brand. Simply put: you have your own brand manufactured by a specialized third party: a private label supplier or a contract manufacturer.

With a private label you create your own brand with packaging, labelling and product formulations tailored to your own requirements, creating a unique product.

Traditionally private labels were positioned as lower cost alternatives to national or international brands, but in recent years they are often positioned as “premium” brands to compete with existing “A-brands”. The reason is clear: private brands offer many advantages to both consumers and brand owners and therefore this market is growing fast.

What is white label?

Private label products are sometimes also referred to as white label products, although they are not completely the same. White label products are usually standardized products produced by a manufacturer for sales to multiple retailers. The only distinction between the different retailers is in fact the labelling. With a private label one has the flexibility to tailor all parts of a product and create a unique brand and product. White label car care products tend to be more generic and less exclusive but usually have a shorter time-to-market and lower start-up or development cost in comparison to private label automotive products. TecLub can offer you both options.

Why will private label grow fast?

A variety of reasons is pushing growth of private label products:

  • Private labels offer huge incentives to brand owners.
  • End-users can purchase quality products at savings compared to A-brands.
  • Consolidation and scaling up by companies make private label opportunities feasible.
  • E-commerce has given brands and private labels another easy way to reach consumer.
  • Private label brands are now being seen as equivalent to multinational premium brands however at a better price.
  • Smaller, niche and private label brands often lead innovation and are quick to incorporate this in their portfolio pushing sales.
  • To save cost, consumers increase private label purchases when the economy is struggling. After economic recovery, changed shopper behaviour remains, as products have been accepted as proven (lower cost) alternatives.
  • It is a new opportunity in developing countries and fast growing economies providing a way to differentiate and increase profitability and flexibility.
  • Millennial consumers are much less brand-fickle than their brand-loyal predecessors. As the purchasing power of this group continues to increase, so will private label.
