The Kitchen and Diningware Wholesaling industry has experienced dynamic developments over the last few years. Pandemic lockdowns resulted in heightened demand for home improvements, including kitchenware and diningware, stimulating an increase in retail sales, which led to a surge in orders for wholesalers. The pandemic also expedited a move towards online shopping, presenting wholesalers with new opportunities to reach consumers. Even so, the industry has been negatively impacted by the wholesale bypass trend, which has undermined the traditional role of wholesalers as retailers seek direct relations with manufacturers. A slump in residential housing construction, rising purchase costs and a cost-of-living crisis curtailing downstream consumer spending on kitchen and diningware have also hampered industry revenue and profitability. Many wholesalers have sought to offset this by focusing on the sale of premium items. The challenging circumstances have resulted in business closures and reduced industry employment. Overall, revenue is expected to creep upwards at an annualised 0.6% over the five years through 2024-25, to an estimated $3.5 billion. This includes an estimated dip of 2.6% in the current year.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 0.6 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $3.5bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
