Is it now available at distributors?

The availability of products at distributors in 2025 is uncertain and faces several challenges. Despite some optimism about economic recovery, distributors are still grappling with supply chain disruptions, increased operational costs, and fluctuations in supply and demand. There is a risk of product shortages in the second half of 2025 if markets pick up, as suppliers and OEMs have run their inventory levels to the bare minimum. Additionally, the industry is dealing with excess inventory from previous years, which is causing customers to order only what they immediately need, leading to a cautious approach in committing to larger orders. Therefore, while some distributors are seeing sales growth and are optimistic about 2025, the overall product availability remains volatile and subject to various market and supply chain factors[5).
