Food Distribution Sector Update—Resilience Amid Continued Economic Uncertainty

Houlihan Lokey is pleased to present its latest Food Distribution Sector Update for H2 2023.

The operating landscape for food distribution companies resembles a “tale of two cities.” Although commodity prices and labor costs have stabilized since the peak turbulence of 2022 and early 2023, case volumes and foot traffic trends have softened due to the U.S. consumer adjusting to elevated food prices. In this H2 2023 Food Distribution Sector Update, we delve into how companies are identifying opportunities amid these challenges and track the evolving valuations since our previous sector update earlier in 2023. We hope this update proves to be both informative and useful.
