All Hands On Deck As Big Competition Threatens Wholesalers

This industry has experienced strong growth, however the industry structure has changed significantly. With many small wholesalers the fragmentation has led to over capacity and poor price disciplines. The market penetration of Big Box Retailers threatens to erode the distribution chain at the wholesale level. Traditional Lumberyards have lost most of the home improvement market to these large retailer chains and now focus upon providing quality service to professional contractors.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in wholesaling lumber; plywood; reconstituted wood fiber products; wood fencing; doors and windows and their frames (all materials); wood roofing and siding; and/or other wood or metal millwork. 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.
