Is Jumbo on to something with its different brand vs private label pricing strategy?
In analysing data available at Daltix, we can confirm what NielsenIQ broadly outlines in their recent article (link to article – in Dutch only) on price inflation. Price inflation is a fact for nearly all products at all retailers. Considering the current competitive landscape putting increased pressure on margins, you would expect branded products to have higher price inflation rates than the private label products. This is true in most cases, especially at Albert Heijn and Hoogvliet.
However, Jumbo is trending in the complete opposite direction. All price changes on private label products exceed the price changes for branded products, except for vegetables and non-food store items. The most striking example in this comparison, is on frozen and babycare products, where inflation on private labels rises 7% more vs brands in these respective categories at Jumbo.
For all retailers we compared, Jumbo is the only retailer which is attempting to reduce the price gap between brand and private label products.
