The wholesaler is under pressure. Increasingly, we are being approached by manufacturers or importers. This is especially true in markets where margins and volumes are declining, or by new entrants who are not able to secure shelf space in retail.
The supply chain with the traditional wholesaler is coming under pressure due to the relatively high contribution required by the wholesaler. Meanwhile, many manufacturers have their own Sales & Marketing teams in the market, and the wholesaler only becomes active once demand has already been created. With today’s (online) tools, it is also easier for manufacturers/importers to reach the end customer directly. Where this often becomes challenging is in fine-grained distribution.
