After two consecutive record-setting years, disinflation and lower volumes caused the U.S. wholesale distribution sector to finish with 2023 annual revenues of $7.887 trillion, down 1.8% after soaring 14.8% and 20.5% in 2022 and 2021, respectively.

“Far removed from direct impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, 2023 may be remembered as the first ‘normal’ year since 2019 in terms of supply chain conditions and escalating inflation,” MDM stated. Web: mdm.com/top_distributors/
