Private Label Trade Show 2025 is going to soar from November 16-18 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago. This trade show will be organized by the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA) as their routine annual program. PLMA brings a new theme “Store Brands Marketplace” for the Private Label Trade Show 2025 for white label brands or industry professionals.
This comes at a time when store brands are seeing exceptional sales growth. According to PLMA’s press release published on 4 March 2025, store brand sales surged to $271 billion in 2024. It was considered as a $9 billion improvement from 2023, and set new benchmarks in both unit volume and dollar sales.
The exhibit floor will include a vast array of the most recent products, including food and beverages, wine and spirits, ingredients, genuine international nonfood items as well as refrigerated and frozen foods, food service items, eco-friendly packaging, snack foods, and beauty and cosmetics. Additionally, self-care and baby care products, health and wellness items, household goods, kitchenware, general merchandise, and convenience foods including grab-and-go items will also be on display.
“Whether one is searching for private label food, beverages, or nonfoods, the Annual Private Label Trade Show is the place to view the newest products and the most current trends,” remarked PLMA President Peggy Davies. “It’s the pinnacle of ‘Store Brands Marketplace.’”
