US Discounters Poised for Continued Growth with Emphasis on Private Label Offerings


Dublin, Aug. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Discounters in the US" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report focuses on discounters, which are retail outlets offering a limited range of products at budget prices, often under private label lines. Discounters can be classified as hard discounters (limited-line discounters) and soft discounters (extended-range discounters). In recent years, discounters have experienced significant growth in the US retail market, driven by the focus on value and private label offerings.

The report highlights key trends and developments driving the industry, including the increasing importance of value for US consumers in the face of high inflation. The discounters channel is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.

PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Discounters poised to continue to make gains in grocery retailers

High inflation is again making value a paramount concern for US consumers. The discounters channel is well-placed to capitalise on this development.

Discounters’ focus on private label will remain a key differentiator

After 2020 and 2021, when the share of private label sales in the US grocery space stagnated, and may even have declined, private label came roaring back in a big way in 2022, as high inflation forced many consumers to look for ways to stretch their pay check further. This development clearly benefited discounters such as Aldi and Lidl, which have made a focus on private label products a centrepiece of their business strategies.

Aldi’s digital initiatives will reduce its dependence on Instacart

Instacart, the leading hyperlocal grocery delivery service in the US, saw its sales explode during 2020, as US consumers shifted billions in spending online. This was a development that forced many grocery retailers that were not prepared for the pandemic-fuelled e-commerce boom to partner with the service to handle delivery (and, in some cases, kerbside pick-up) for them.
