While Amazon’s private label, AmazonBasics, accounted for $7.5 billion out of $232.9 billion in 2018, the more than 2,000 products tend to rank in the middle of the top-100, occasionally floating to the top before returning down the ranks.
Over the past decade, private label brands have become a huge revenue producer for companies like Walmart, Target, Costco and Sam’s Club. Seeing success and potential to increase revenue, other major retailers and grocers have forged into the private label game slowly, accelerating production once their customers gain confidence in the product line quality.
