Soft Drink, Baked Goods & Other Grocery Wholesaling in the US - Industry Market Research Report


Soft Drink, Baked Goods & Other Grocery Wholesaling in the US

The Soft Drink, Baked Goods and Other Grocery Wholesaling industry has grown rapidly. An improving economy and rising consumer confidence have increased industry demand as downstream markets saw increased sales from consumers with more disposable income in their pockets. The industry has grown despite difficult conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which initially produced declines in demand from the food and hospitality industries, but created a temporary surge in grocery sales. Downstream demand has largely normalized since 2021, while rising agricultural and fuel prices have caused industry selling prices to spike. Over the past five years, industry revenue has grown at an average annual rate of 5.4% to $502.7 billion, including growth of 2.6%in 2023 alone. Despite volatile purchasing prices and increased competition from superstores and grocery chains, the average industry profit margin has remained strong, as wholesalers have bolstered margins by passing down costs to downstream markets.

Operators in this industry primarily wholesale specialized grocery products such as soft drinks or baked goods. However, this industry does not wholesale frozen foods, dairy products (except dried or canned), poultry products (except canned), confectionery products, fish and seafood products (except canned), meat products (except canned), alcoholic beverages or fresh fruits and vegetables.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
