Distribution Industry’s Momentum for 2022

According to Modern Distribution Management (MDM) research, revenues for U.S. distributors grew 22% in 2021 to roughly $7 trillion, after decreasing more than 4% overall in 2020. MDM’s baseline forecast for 2022-2024 indicates 10% growth in 2022, 2.6% in 2023, and 3.4% in 2024. Visit the link above for a comprehensive view of the distribution industry for 2022.

Our Observations:

2021 had its fair share of challenges, with the supply chain being a big factor, along with pricing and inflation leaving distributors to get creative.

“In today’s economy, distributors are doing everything possible to continue operating effectively while realizing a profit margin. As their operating costs have increased, they’ve in turn had to increase pricing for their customers. Additionally, many are having to shop supplies based on availability instead of price point, which then leads to price increases. However, it’s a means to deliver products to customers more promptly, so it’s being done. It’s basic supply and demand economics.” – Patrick VanPutte, President & COO
