Artificial Sweetener Katie Clark Reed Taylor
Introduction to Artificial Sweeteners • $606 million in annual revenue • 31.42% item penetration Category dominated by a few strong national brands and there is little private label activity.
Category Audit Findings • 10 stores audited • 66 SKUs found • 18 brands found • 44 unique SKUs found across the 5 main retailers
Category Depth *SKUs may appear in more than one store
Future of Private Label • Private Label is not that important to this category. Walmart places the private label brands next to the strong national brands in hope that consumers buy products based on price. • Our recommendation to Walmart would be to decrease the role of private label. Give shelf space to either Splenda or Equal, and increase promotion on those brands.
