Navigating Wholesale & Distribution Sector in India

High Operating Costs Hindering Profitability

  • In India's wholesale sector, costs account for approximately 70% of operational expenses, squeezing margins and reducing overall business profitability.
  • Maintaining financial health requires leveraging technologies that reduce these overhead costs. Digital tools can cut costs by up to 20%, preserving profit margins.

Fragmented Supply Chains Impact Efficiency

  • Only 40% of India’s distribution networks are efficiently connected, resulting in delays and suboptimal stock levels. This fragmentation challenges timely distribution.
  • To improve delivery times, enhancing integrated logistics partnerships can realign stock deliveries and cut delays by approximately 30%, boosting supply chain efficiency.

Growth of E-Commerce Aiding Distribution

  • E-commerce in India is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18% shortly. This growth fuels the wholesale segment by demanding more efficient distribution services.
  • Adopting faster, adaptive logistics solutions in tandem with e-com platforms aligns with this trend. These steps can strengthen wholesale capacities by up to 25%.

Policy Support Boosting Market Dynamics

  • Soon implementation of government policy reforms ushers in FDI opportunities, paving new pathways for investment in India's distribution processes.
  • Capitalizing on these favorable policies, businesses might see an increase in FDI one folds allowing distribution networks to innovate and expand robustly.

What Our Clients Say About Us

"YCP Solidiance’s vast network and enormous experience in India, benefited us in identifying some of the competent Institutes, which were not on our radar before. Being a huge country, it is not easy to locate such Institutes that may not be popular or generally well known but that may have specific competencies useful for our applications. YCP Solidiance truly served as a partner to link us with new academia in India, which has great potential for collaboration. I personally appreciate the dedication and professionalism of Solidiance's entire team, & particularly would like to thank Heiko for his excellent project management & valuable inputs. Thank you for the cooperation and we hope to continue the partnership we have built up so far."
