2012-09-16 07:36:41 - New Food market report from IBISWorld: "Soft Drink, Baked Goods & Other Grocery Wholesaling in the US"

Top shelf: Wholesalers will shift toward value-added and niche goods to offset wholesale bypass

Soft Drink, Baked Goods & Other Grocery Wholesaling in the US

The right ingredients

Wholesale bypass is expected to continue as low-cost retailers internalize the wholesale function within their retail businesses. With competition coming from fresh and organic produce, operators will need to focus on product differentiation and provide additional services to ensure that this mature industry will obtain a greater share of the market. This move will also be important as consumers return to eating out as their disposable incomes bounce back. Consolidation at the expense of companies' specializations will characterize the industry's outlook.
