BUSINESS

 

Operations:

Business:

Business Overview:

 

The domestic demand for food, (an indicator for food distributors), are forecast to grow at an annual compounded rate of 3.9 percent between 2007 and 2012.

Industry demand changes due to shifting consumer tastes, but is limited overall by the 1 percent annual growth of the US population. The profitability of individual companies depends on good merchandising, and efficient operations. Large distributors have a cost advantage by purchasing in bulk, but also need to operate a more complicated distribution network. Smaller companies can compete effectively by specializing in products or geographical areas. Many small companies have exclusive distribution rights to imported specialty goods.
