Abstract

In recent decades, the consumer goods sector has proliferated with private labels, competing with national brands (Olbrich et al. 2009; Olbrich and Grewe 2009, 2013; Hundt et al. 2016). Intense price competition at the retail level corresponds with the strong growth of private labels (Olbrich et al. in press), which target not only lower and middle price segments (generic and classic private labels) but also upper price segments (premium private labels) (Jonas and Roosen 2005; Ter Braak et al. 2014; Schnittka 2015). As a result, retailers are now serious competitors to their existing business partners, namely, members of the branded goods industry (Olbrich and Buhr 2005).
