HHHH Cannabidiol (CBD) is regularly in the news and is the talk of the consumer packaged goods industry. At the Private Label Trade Show on Nov. 17-19, innovations with CBD in various forms and applications across an array of consumer products will be a focal point on the exhibition floor, according to the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA), which stages the annual show held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill. “There is currently intense interest and curiosity on the part of American consumers with regard to the uses and

benefits of CBD, coupled with a growing awareness of the availability of these products,” PLMA President Brian Sharoff said. “Visitors to the show will have the opportunity to see first-hand what all the buzz is about.” More than a dozen CBD suppliers from across the U.S. and Canada have signed up for the show, which will spotlight them in a dedicated section on the show floor. Sales of CBD consumer packaged goods are expected to reach $16 billion in sales by 2025. It is rapidly making its way into the mainstream across hundreds of non-food

offerings in health and wellness categories, personal care, hair and skin care, beauty, therapeutic and fitness products, pet care and more. Products that promote their cannabidiol credentials in terms of CBD content, unique and broad spectrum CBD formulations and related hemp-derived components range from tinctures, oils, gels, balms and lotions to hemp milk, hemp capsules, hemp seeds and even hemp pillows, soaps and ice cream. The nation’s largest drug chains — Walgreens, CVS and RiteAid — are selling a variety of CBD and hemp items. So is The Kroger Co., the nation’s largest supermarket chain. Many more retailers have committed to exploring the sale of the products, as CBD and hemp-derived ingredients are expected to expand across more non-food products and eventually into food categories across the grocery space, according to PLMA.

The CBD companies exhibiting at the Private Label Trade Show will include recognized industry leaders like Mile High Labs, Contract Pharmacal, Shikai, Blue Sky Hemp Ventures, Elixinol, and others. Among these are companies that have been NSF and BRC certified, as well as companies with pharmaceutical grade manufacturing facilities, offering advantages for an industry that has to date been lightly regulated, the PLMA said. Additional exhibitors are expected to join before the show’s opening. “The attraction of certain growth today and prospects for even greater expansion in the future are driving retailers to search out new and innovative suppliers to help bring these products to their store brands assortments,” the trade association stated. “The 2019 PLMA show will have much to offer those retail buyers.” CBD will also be the topic of a seminar to be presented on Sunday, Nov. 17. Virginia Lee, CBD research manager with Brightfield Group, a source of market intelligence for the CBD and cannabis industries, will speak about CBD’s proliferation in non-food, formulations beginning to appear in pet products and supplements, and CBD and hemp-derivatives which are expected to follow soon in food products. Overall, PLMA’s 2019 trade show will present more than 2,500 exhibit booths from the best store brands manufacturers of every size and description, while more than 5,000 visitors to the PLMA will include buyers and executives from U.S. supermarkets, mass merchandisers, drug chains, discount, club, convenience and dollar stores, in addition to online and specialty retailers, foodservice distributors and wholesalers.

PLMA SHOW PREVIEW 2019
SHOW PREVIEW 2019 In this year’s competition, more than 750 private branded food and non-food were submitted by 62 U.S. and Canadian retailers. The products were evaluated by eight panels of industry professionals and consumers, and the judging resulted in 44 food and 23 non-food winners in categories including gourmet and indulgence, products for healthy eating, plant-
based, sustainably sourced and organics on the food side as well as free-from, ecofriendly and more in non-food. “This year’s Salute to Excellence Awards submissions continue to reflect the shift away from national brands as consumers gravitate to more unique and affordable products from the stores they know and trust,” said PLMA President Brian Sharoff. “Today’s retailers have a good pulse on consumer trends in their particular markets and their store brands are better positioned than the national brands are to satisfy that shopper’s appetite for quality products.”

SHOW FLOOR WILL HIGHLIGHT SEVERAL PLANT-BASED PRODUCTS HHHH The plant-based meat movement is gaining ground as 100% plant-based products that closely mimic the look, feel and taste of hamburgers, ground meats, poultry and more are turning up in increasing numbers in restaurants and stores across the country. Consumer awareness and interest among such products is growing, which has lead to increased sales of plant-based meats. According to PLMA, the investment firm UBS is projecting plant-based proteins will be an $85 billion industry by 2030. Additional plant-based items on display at the show will include pastas, snacks, butter, cheeses, cream cheese, yogurts, milks, beverages, protein blends, probiotic supplements for humans and pets, and plant-based detergents and cleansers.
JIM WISNER WILL TALK ABOUT THE POPULARITY OF PLANT-BASED FOODS DURING A SEMINAR ON NOV. 17.
