Trading companies
According to the industry barometer, trady generally sees future growth ahead. In particular, wholesalers and other intermediaries have a positive outlook, whilst in certain sectors retailers may have a rather difficult time. The main risk factor is domestic demand, which can be easily dampened by rising energy and commodity prices.
The stationary trade, and here also the wholesale sector, is facing major challenges. Increasing costs due to longer store opening hours in particular, along with continued competitive pressures and rising market consolidation, have not been sufficiently set off by higher demand on the part of consumers.
Internet sales are growing, but a sustainable business model still has yet to be discovered. The questions in this sector are as diverse as the forms of trade and the size of companies - there are no silver bullets.
