Plumbing & Heating Supplies Wholesaling in the US

The industry distributes plumbing fixtures, hydronic equipment and other heating and plumbing supplies from manufacturers to professional contractors and other downstream markets. These products are used in the construction, repair and remodeling of residential and nonresidential buildings. This industry relies on downstream demand for construction and renovation work, which have stayed relatively stable, except for declining in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling revenue to rebound in 2021 due to a low starting point. Revenue is expected to rise at a CAGR of 1.1% to $85.3 billion over the past five years. The coronavirus pandemic and subsequent economic slowdown in consumer confidence increased operators' costs. As a result, industry revenue is estimated to slightly decrease, dropping 2.5% in 2023.
