Growth in the Manufacturing and Construction Sectors

As the output from these sectors expands, the requirements from the supporting industrial distribution economy also rises significantly. For instance, manufacturers involved in industries like automotive, machinery, electronics, and heavy equipment require a continuous supply of metalwork materials, MRO supplies, electrical components, hardware, fasteners, and machining consumables which are made available by industrial suppliers.

Moreover, the rebuilding of industrial infrastructure in emerging nations has spurred local production activities. For construction firms, the demand for building materials, pre-engineered steel structures, tools, mining/drilling equipment, and their associated parts is surging. Distributors play an important role of catering to the demand from these end-user industries through a wide selection of industrial products and solutions. They also help source quality materials and components from across the world to address project needs. Some full-line distributors even offer value-added services such as product customization, technical support and inventory management.

The downstream impact of a strong manufacturing base and construction boom can further strengthen economic growth. It fuels job creation and the broader development of ancillary industries. A rise in manufacturing output is known to have a multiplier effect by generating more output in other connected sectors.
