We at MDM have rolled out our April issue of Premium Monthly — packaging last month’s Premium content into one convenient PDF. 

And it’s a mega-issue.

This issue includes seven Premium articles, and most are extensive. They include the following:

• Our 2025 Women in Distribution feature about 20 well-deserving honorees, with profiles on each
• Lee Nyari’s analysis of elasticity amid tariffs and distributors’ response to them
• Why QXO relentlessly pursued Beacon to achieve its first landmark acquisition
• In-depth MDM Research results from our early April Baird-MDM Industrial Distribution, with analysis about:
  • How distributors and manufacturers are combatting tariff impacts on their cost of goods sold (COGS)
  • How much distributors and manufacturers expect their COGS to increase from tariff impacts
  • How tariffs are impacting distributors and manufacturers’ plans for capital investment, and if they’re seeing signs of demand pullback
• Our latest MDM Forecast that projects distribution revenues for 19 different product sectors through 2026

Besides those articles, our April issue includes:

• Our Industry Digest of the news we covered throughout the month on distributors, manufacturers, associations and service providers
• A Market Profile on JanSan – providing a snapshot of U.S. demand by geography and within its top end markets

All of that is now available in our April Premium Monthly report, which is now available. Premium subscribers can download it from their Premium Dashboard (or just click here), and non-subscribers can purchase it here in the MDM Store.

With NAW’s acquisition of MDM in 2024, NAW members now have complementary access to MDM Premium. If you’re an NAW member, you should activate your Premium subscription here if you haven’t already.
