NEW YORK — The Private Label Manufacturers Association, the trade association representing the $200 billion U.S. store brand industry, announced Thursday that in collaboration with IRI, PLMA members now have access to near real-time customized market data.
Utilizing IRI’s dynamic, user-friendly Unify data visualization platform, PLMA members and retailers can access store brand category, aisle and department performance across multiple time periods, measures and product selection. Refreshed monthly, the sales data cover numerous channels – including food, drug, mass merchandisers, military, dollar, club and convenience stores – across 317 categories and 967 sub-categories.
