UPS Industrial Buying Dynamics Study 2017

Asset-light e-marketplaces and other nontraditional shopping channels, combined with shifting demographics, are upending industrial distributors’ inventory-heavy model more rapidly than previously thought. 81% of buyers have purchased directly from manufacturers, up from 64% in 2015.
According to the UPS Industrial Buying Dynamics Study: Buyers Raise the Bar for Suppliers, the biggest shift comes from millennials (defined for this study as those currently ages 21-34) who grew up in a digital era and are bringing their tech-savvy and nontraditional purchasing habits – for example, bypassing the middle man – with them into the workplace (Persbericht UPS, 13 juni 2017).
