Private-label consumer studies: A review and future research agenda

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Focusing on the consumer studies, this review investigates the private label (PL) research to identify emerging themes and future research avenues. Through a systematic review approach, we outline theories, contexts, and methods described in 145 PLconsumer studies published over the past five decades, unveiling a growing and formative body of literature consisting of five themes aggregated into the following three overarching themes: (1) PL buyer characteristics and perceptions, (2) PL marketing stimuli, and (3) PL post-purchase-related factors. In the context of these thematic areas, the present study identifies the factors influencing PL buying decision, highlighting peculiarities and characteristics of PL consumer behavior. Finally, we delineate long-range research goals of PL consumer studies.
