As disruption has become the new normal in distribution over the past decade, economic and market data has never been more valuable, as has the speed to which those leaders can access it.

We’re helping on this front in the form of a new quarterly MDM Forecast Report.

It’s complimentary to Premium members from their Premium dashboard. This includes NAW members that have opted into their free subscription. It’s also available in the MDM Store.

This comprehensive report is a guide to the industrial economy for wholesale distribution executives, providing a historical, current and future snapshot of numerous key economic indicators. The data is headlined by MDM’s forecast for 2025 U.S. wholesale distribution revenues to grow 5.7% annually after a modest 2.0% gain in 2024, while the biggest value is in sector-specific forecasts across 19 product verticals.

This report provides the economic insights you need to strategically navigate potential market shifts, including an aggregate view that puts all of the key metrics in one convenient place. In the new normal of constant uncertainty, this level of information will be critical for leading distributors today and going forward.

The new MDM Forecast Report complements our existing quarterly MarketPulse and M&A Reports, and follows our 2024 Annual Outlook that we published this past fall along with our 2024 Family Business Report.
