- 'Evolutionary consumers' show natural selection is at work in retail

A national study today reveals that over half (51%) of all consumers believe that big brands are losing their importance in today's world. Nearly two-thirds of shoppers say they are more likely to buy supermarket own-brand now than a year ago. And, significantly, almost a third (29%) said they would never switch back to the big brands.
