🚀 🇧🇷 The Growth of Private Label Brands in Brazilian Retail 🚀 As retail landscapes evolve, one trend stands out prominently: the rise of private-label brands. In a recent article in MERCADO&CONSUMO, Marcos Gouvea explores the eight key reasons behind the surge in private-label brands' presence in Brazilian retail. The core assertion? Private label brands are poised to claim a larger share of retail sales across diverse categories, becoming increasingly relevant in the Brazilian market in the years to come. Key drivers behind this phenomenon include: 1. Enhanced Competitiveness: Retailers are striving for better profitability across all segments, prompting a shift towards private-label brands. 2. Wholesale Growth: The expansion of self-service wholesale sales in the food sector has fueled the development of private-label brands in this format. 3. Market Consolidation: Increasing consolidation across various retail segments has led industry leaders to invest more in private-label brand development and management. 4. Network Formation: The formation of business networks in supermarkets, pharmacies, and other sectors is driving collaboration in developing private-label brands for enhanced competitiveness. 5. Industry Response: Manufacturers respond to retail demand for private-label brands by offering more professionalized product lines. 6. Global Benchmarking: International benchmarks, particularly in Europe and North America, where private-label brand penetration is higher, are influencing the Brazilian market. 7. Consumer Familiarity: Consumers are becoming increasingly familiar with and loyal to private-label brand offerings across various retail segments. 8. Value Focus: Economic pressures have intensified consumer focus on value, leading to increased scrutiny and comparison of prices and attributes. As private-label brands continue to gain traction, they are reshaping retail dynamics, driving innovation, and offering consumers greater value and choice. This trend is evident across sectors, from supermarkets to construction materials, and even in niche markets like pet supplies. It underscores a fundamental shift in consumer preferences and retailer strategies. With private-label brands set to double their current share of retail sales in Brazil over the next decade, the time to capitalize on this opportunity is now. Let's reflect on these insights and seize the moment to drive positive change in Brazilian retail. Together, we can unlock the full potential of private-label brands and propel the industry forward. #RetailTrends #PrivateLabelBrands #BrazilianRetail #Innovation #ConsumerChoice #BusinessStrategy #MarketInsights #CBHub #IgorPipolo #CrossBorder #Ecommerce #CrossBorderLogistics Igor Pipolo Raffaella Calfat

PPWR & Green Deal: Did you know that from 2025, all deposit containers in deposit machines in Austria will (have to) be flattened in the one-way deposit system? With my collection machines, it will also be possible to plate deposit containers at all small take-back points as soon as clear and forgery-proof registration is possible using a serialised 2D barcode on the deposit containers. The savings potential, especially when transporting the flattened deposit containers to the sorting facilities, can be up to 70 %. The flattening of lightweight packaging will be state of the art from 2023 - see EP patent and US patent - https://lnkd.in/grjHnwgH https://lnkd.in/dvF5H2ae

Consulting by Kantar Walmart de México y Centroamérica appears to be under investigation by the Mexican Federal Competition Commission (Cofece) for anti-competitive actions. This have not been stated, simply a retailer has been asked to provide 'evidence in their favor'. This becomes more confusing in that one of their banners, Bodega Aurrera , is regularly singled out by the president for having the cheapest baskets of core goods on a monthly basis. Something to watch, Walmart is far and away the largest retailer and employer in the country, so difficult to forecast what happens next. América Retail https://lnkd.in/gfT6za9m

#StrategicCostManagement (SCM) is crucial for #Retail to achieve an effective and efficient consumer response, and to create Shareholder value. However, there is still much to be done, as in the case of Carrefour, where they need to avoid putting undue pressure on their suppliers and focus on promoting their white brand products. And apply better OKRs to optimize #cost-per-transaction and improve #salesvelocity!!! Let´s compare some value mgt numbers: Carrefour Waltmart WACC 5.58% 7.06% ROIC 4.42% 10.00% SPREAD -1.16% 2.93% One company depends on its suppliers while the other strives to improve supplier effectiveness. As of today (2024-02-21), Carrefour's WACC % is 5.58%. Carrefour's ROIC % is 4.42% (calculated using TTM income statement data). Carrefour earns returns that do not match up to its cost of capital. It will destroy value as it grows. As of today (2024-02-21), Walmart's WACC % is 7.06%. Walmart's ROIC % is 10.00% (calculated using TTM income statement data). Walmart generates higher returns on investment than it costs the company to raise the capital needed for that investment. It is earning excess returns. A firm that expects to continue generating positive excess returns on new investments in the future will see its value increase as growth increases. https://lnkd.in/etJ3yGQ9
