Abstract

This article tries to characterize the factors that influence consumers' decision to buy a private label (or store brand). Data come from purchasing acts in the Sécodip panel, composed by more than 7, 000 households for the year2000. The model is a logit one. We study two frequently purchased goods: pasta and yoghurts, and find that the results are not dependant of the product. Most of the sociodemographics factors (age, location and diploma) do not play an important role in the private label buying decision. A significant income effect influences the consumer 's choice, but only for the lowest income categories. On the other hand brand choice is dearly related to purchase behaviour: for example, store loyalty clearly plays in favour of store brand. Last when leaving the 'core of the market' (sophisticated ingredients, original packaging), national brands get advantaged even if store brands are available on these market segments.
