Wholesale Trade Industry Overview
The wholesale trade industry plays an essential role in connecting manufacturers and producers with retailers, businesses, institutions, and other commercial buyers.
Wholesale companies depend on efficient sales, purchasing, warehousing, inventory, logistics, distribution, customer service, and administrative operations.
Workforce demand may increase because of:
- Business expansion
- New distribution centers
- Increased order volumes
- Growth in international trade
- New supplier relationships
- Warehouse expansion
- E-commerce growth
- Seasonal demand
- New market entry

- Supply chain growth
Wholesale businesses often require employees across several functions at the same time, from warehouse and logistics personnel to sales representatives, buyers, inventory staff, and administrative professionals.
