The industrial machinery and equipment wholesaling industryexperienced a modest growth of 4.3% in revenue over the five-yearperiod leading up to 2017.Increased level of manufacturing activity and industrial output in theCanadian economy are the key drivers for growth in this industry.Over the next five years to 2023, the industry is expected to continuegrowing at an annualized rate of 0.3% to $22.1 billion over the five yearsto 2023.Key external drivers:

1. Industrial capacity utilization2. Demand from oil and gas extraction3. Aggregate private investment4. Demand from wholesale trade, durable goods5. World price of steel

The industry has experienced structural change in recent years, including:• Fluctuations in price of crude oil – Demand from oil and gas

markets for industry products increased with higher oil prices,leading to booming natural resource production in Canada in 2014.The industry then experienced a decline in revenue in 2015 and2016 due to weaker demand from the oil and gas markets causedby a decline in the price of crude oil.

• Increased global commodity prices – The industry will benefitfrom increased commodity prices leading to growing demand fromoil and gas markets. This trend is expected to continue withrevenue projected to increase a marginal 0.1% in 2018.

• M&A activity– In an attempt to gain economies of scale, largeindustry operators have focused on mergers and acquisition(M&A) activity to lower purchasing costs and increase profitmargins.

• Maintenance of skilled staff – To achieve a higher bottom-line,industry operators must maintain knowledgeable and technicalstaff for sales, maintenance and repair and customer relations,which is essential in this industry as products and equipment soldby industry wholesalers require a great deal of technical expertise.

The industry has experienced structural change in recent years, including:• Overall housing starts – The industry has benefitted from rising

income levels and low interest rates. As a result, overall housingstarts and value of residential construction have risen leading toincreased demand for industry products.

• Non-residential construction markets – The ripple effect fromdecreased revenues in downstream energy markets due to lowerprices of crude oil and natural gas has resulted in a decline in newnon-residential construction projects.

• Government and growing green movements – Increasedgovernment regulations, particularly at the provincial level,promoting energy efficiency by offering favorable tax incentiveshave resulted in increased demand for industry products.

• Changing consumer trends – Shifting consumer trends to consumelonger-lasting and more energy-efficient products will furtherbolster demand for such products.

• Competition and consolidation – In response to technologicalefficiencies resulting in improved margins and new entrants in theindustry, there has been increased acquisition activity in theindustry.

2019 WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION INDUSTRY TRENDS

The wholesale distribution industry is experiencing rapid change as businesses explore new methods and processes. Manywholesale distributors are exploring incremental growth and cost-reduction opportunities. Operators within the industrywill be required to adopt key trends in order to remain competitive and profitable. These key wholesale distributiontrends going forward include the following:

E-COMMERCE

• Leading wholesale distribution companies will continue to invest in e-commerce capabilities and platforms, leveragingthese tools for sales growth and improved customer service. Integrated e-commerce platforms enable wholesaledistributors to address challenges inherent in the distribution model, such as customer segmentation and pricing, andallows them to improve customer service while reducing overhead costs. Integrated platforms can improve acompany’s ability to provide real-time pricing, incorporating quantity tier pricing, discounts, associations, andpromotional pricing, encouraging customers to trust and rely on this method of ordering. Additionally, it allowscustomers to access order history, order status, existing purchase orders and invoices. An integrated platform alsofurther enables customer segmentation through the integration into customer relations management (CRM) systems,providing distributors with the ability to distinguish the specific characteristics and buying trends of the individualcontact conducting the transaction. This enables marketing to segment those characteristics for direct promotions andcoordination with sales reps to improve focused customer service based upon those characteristics and trends.

MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

• M&A activity is expected to continue at a rapid pace within the wholesale distribution industry. In order to remaincompetitive and relevant in today’s ever-changing market, companies must differentiate themselves in one or moreways by pushing for innovation in product offering, speed-to-market, operational efficiencies or other customer-oriented strategies. Such capabilities can be costly, or difficult to grow organically, making acquisitions in the industryquite appealing as businesses seek to improve operational efficiencies or increase complementary product offerings.Conversely, strategic divestitures will help companies establish a core focus, to become a premier supplier or providean opportunity to increase reinvestment in growing the core business.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

• The Internet of things (IoT) and increased data generation will drive a greater need for advanced analytics capabilitiesand data management systems in 2019. Digital transformation in the industry has generated greater access to data, butnot the ability to manage and interpret it. Wholesale distribution companies must continue to explore embedding thesecapabilities within their businesses via new talent or managed analytics to enable data-driven decision making.

WAREHOUSE AUTOMATION

• As robotics, artificial intelligence and automation continue to proliferate through the industry, operators will have theability to streamline their operations and create an autonomous, or semi-autonomous warehouse. Companies thatinvest in these advanced technologies will remain ahead of the curve and will be able to achieve tremendous ROIthrough speed of processing, increased accuracy shipping processing, and reduced overhead. The operationalimprovements delivered by warehouse automation will lead to direct improvements in customer satisfaction.

MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS

Source: IBISWorld Industry Reports.

The key external drivers that affect the distribution industry in Canada include: industrial capacity utilization, the worldprice of crude oil, the Canadian-dollar effective exchange rate index, the world price of steel, housing starts, residentialrenovation expenditure, value of non-residential construction and aggregate private investment. Growth in thedistribution industry in Canada is expected to be fueled by lower crude oil and steel prices, a depressed Canadian dollarrelative to key trading partners and more stable industrial capacity utilization rates as a result of lower volatility in oilprices. It is important to note that if the uncertainty surrounding NAFTA negotiations and tariff disputes persist, consumerconfidence may decline, which could restrict the Canadian distribution industry from reaching full potential.
