The non durable goods wholesalers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $34.88 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to acceleration of e-commerce penetration, demand for faster replenishment cycles, adoption of advanced warehouse technologies, growth of private label brands, increasing focus on supply chain resilience. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of private label and white-label distribution, growth of omnichannel and e-wholesale platforms, increasing consolidation among regional wholesalers, focus on faster last-mile and micro-distribution networks, rising demand for value-priced and economy product lines.
The rising demand for e-commerce is anticipated to drive the growth of the non-durable goods wholesaler market in the coming years. E-commerce refers to the purchase and sale of goods and services through the internet and other electronic channels. It enables wholesalers to extend their market reach beyond physical locations, allowing them to connect with customers regionally, nationally, and even internationally, thereby expanding their potential customer base. For instance, in August 2023, according to the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, compared to the second quarter of 2022, e-commerce estimates for the second quarter of 2023 increased by 7.5% (or 1.4%), while overall retail sales grew by 0.6% (or 0.4%).

A burgeoning and diverse population offers opportunities for non-durable goods wholesalers to tap into new customer segments and boost sales, particularly in regions experiencing increased consumer demand. For instance, data from the Office for National Statistics in February 2023 projected the UK's population to reach 72.4 million by mid-2045. Therefore, the increasing population is a key driver behind the growth of the non-durable goods wholesaler's market.
