Here at DISC, we see the electrical distribution community ending 2024 at $141.4 billion for +2.3% overall year-over-year (YOY) growth. We see 2025 at $144.5 billion, up +2.2% over 2024. This is in line with historical norms and inflation. Looking ahead, for now, we see a robust growth year in 2026 fueled by hearty performance in both the construction and industrial verticals. Now is the time to align resources and consider strategy. There is no doubt that the new Presidential Administration will have an impact on the electrical distribution industry. It’s important to consider this impact during our future planning. We can start to consider what changes may take place that will have a bearing on our forecasts and the overall direction of our industry. In the long term, balancing economic growth with sustainable energy sources will be critical, and the electrical industry will likely continue to face challenges and opportunities as it navigates the transition toward a more sustainable energy future.
