Wholesale and Distribution

Wholesale distributors have had to face and adapt to extensive changes in recent years. Global supply chain disruptions and demand volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, shifting economic priorities and a host of new regulations brought on by the worldwide emphasis on sustainability, rapid onset of digitization and robotization technologies, and a global labor shortage serve as prominent examples. Despite this, the global wholesale industry is continuing on a growth path with estimates pointing toward a CAGR of 7% until 2025.

Major trends in the wholesale industry exemplify diverse outlooks:

• D2C business models are rising in popularity as eCommerce matures and new dropshipping and social commerce platforms spring up.
• A global emergence of exclusively B2B-focused eCommerce platforms is transforming the face of business procurement.
• Automation is becoming the new normal as distributors increase reliance on digital warehouse and inventory management solutions and advanced tracking systems.
• Contagion risk and public health concerns, a lack of digital skills in willing workforce, and a shift from physical to online retail are exacerbating an extensive warehouse labor shortage.
