We at MDM have rolled out our October 2025 issue of Premium Monthly — packaging last month’s Premium content into one convenient PDF.Â
This issue includes eight feature articles, along with our regular news roundup and Market Profile snapshot. Those articles cover the following:

- Insights from NetPlus’ CEO on how midsize distributors should seek intentional growth amid market consolidation

- Our monthly distribution M&A roundup, which provides a breakdown of year-to-date dealmaking activity by product vertical and how the pace of M&A compares with a year earlier
- Our latest MDM Forecast that projects distribution revenues for 19 different product sectors through 2026
Besides those articles, our October issue includes:
- Our Industry Digest of the news we covered throughout the month on distributors, manufacturers, associations, service providers and more
