Private labels or store brands are an important source of profits for retailers and a formidable source of competition for national brand manufacturers. Market share of private labels, however, varies dramatically across categories.

They find that private labels perform better in large categories offering high margins. Private labels also do better when competing against fewer national manufacturers who spend less on national advertising. Surprisingly, high quality is much more important than lower cost.
