PLMA’s 2023 “World of Private Label” International Trade Show, which was held May 23-24 at RAI Amsterdam, has come to a close.
The show welcomed a record number of 16,000+ trade visitors from 120 countries worldwide. Attendance exceeded pre-pandemic records and confirmed that the industry is back in full force.
2650 exhibiting companies from 72 countries presented thousands of food and non-food products at the show. Exhibitors reported that, as usual at the PLMA show, visitor quality was impeccable. Many new contacts were made, meetings with existing partners took place and groundwork for future deals was laid.
Among the main attractions were also PLMA Idea Supermarket and New Product Expo, presenting one centralised display of private label innovation and new product development.
The event kicked off with the well-attended pre-show seminars on Monday, May. For the current year 2023, private label is expected to grow with 2-3% points in Europe, with strongest growth in Eastern Europe. Both NielsenIQ and GfK confirmed Europe as the biggest market for private label, with a 34% market share. What’s more, across countries and across product categories, private label is still gaining market share.
“The “World of Private Label” is a global affair and is the leading B2B private label platform. We are proud that internationally the private label industry recognizes the show’s importance,” said PLMA’s President Peggy Davies.
Next year’s “World of Private Label” will be held on May 28-29, 2024.
