US Data Shows New Food Product Introductions Declined In 2009, Private Label Gains

May 24, 2010: 03:29 AM EST
After a 23% increase in new product introductions for the US between 2006 and 2008, Mintel International Group reported a 20% drop in 2009. The decline in brand new products is driven by SKU reductions on the part of retailers and a decline in new product launches from smaller manufacturers. Notably, while private label launches also fell last year, they did so at a slower rate than those for brands. Mintel highlighted PL’s increasing share of new food products, which has jumped from 16.6% in 2006 to 24.7% in 2009. Lynn Dornblaser, director, CPG Trend Insight, Mintel International Group, points to PL’s growing power: “There's less loyalty to brands, because benefit loyalty is replacing brand loyalty. Consumers want their needs met. If PL can respond, consumers are less likely to go back to brands.”
