The latest installment of NAW Research (rebranded from MDM) is now available in the form of our 4Q26 Forecast Report.

This comprehensive report is a guide to the U.S. wholesale distribution economy, providing a historical, current and future snapshot of numerous key economic indicators. The data is headlined by MDM’s updated forecast for 2026 and 2027 annual industry and sector-specific revenue growth across 19 different product sectors.

It’s complimentary to NAW Professional/MDM Premium members. This includes NAW members that have opted into their free subscription. It’s also available in the NAW Store.

This report provides the economic insights you need to strategically navigate potential market shifts, including an aggregate view that puts all of the key metrics in one convenient place. In the new normal of constant uncertainty, this level of information will be critical for leading distributors today and going forward.

The new NAW Forecast Report complements our existing quarterly MarketPulse and M&A Reports (3Q26 versions coming soon!) — each aimed to equip you with the latest macro, micro and industry-specific economic data in a format that’s fast and easy to absorb.
