Third-Party Wholesaling in Denmark Industry Data and Analysis
Over the five years through 2025, revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 3% to €506.6 billion. In 2025, revenue is forecast to fall 1.1%. The industry’s performance shows a mixed trend, mainly because different products affect wholesalers' results in different ways. In the clothes and footwear wholesale sector, local businesses now face tougher competition and growing pressure from rivals. Retailers now bypass wholesalers and source directly from manufacturers, letting them cut costs and control designs and deliveries. This direct procurement weakens the wholesaler’s role. At the same time, online platforms like Amazon and Alibaba make it simple for consumers to shop across borders, driving down the market share for traditional wholesalers. Global transport improvements also help overseas companies reach European buyers without needing local distribution networks. Direct sales from US brands into European countries, for example, have cut into local wholesale volumes. Interest rate rises have held back wholesaler revenues in construction and manufacturing by reducing investment. But as borrowing costs fall in some regions, construction activity is picking up, especially in Spain and Turkey. This could lift demand for raw materials and machinery, bringing some relief to wholesale businesses in these sectors.
