The NetPlus Alliance Industry Outlook tracks business results and trends in the industrial and contractor supply markets. The latest quarterly survey was completed in October 2024, and the outlook was based on third-quarter results of 2024.
About two-thirds of respondents anticipate growth in 2024. The majority of NetPlus distributors forecast 2025 sales will outperform those in 2024 largely due to election results, branch expansion and increased customer activity.
For the quarter, distributors’ purchases from NetPlus suppliers were up 10%.
“The true strength of NetPlus lies in its members,” said Jennifer Murphy, President and CEO of NetPlus Alliance. “I am incredibly proud of their vision, resilience and unwavering commitment to growth. Many have been actively investing in their teams and operations to ensure a successful year ahead. I’m excited for all that 2025 will bring.”
NetPlus negotiates improved pricing, rebates, and terms with more than 200 manufacturers on behalf of 415 industrial and contractor supplies distributor members.
