There are lots of merger distributors in the market. Here are some of the largest and most influential:
Anixter
Anixter is considered a market channel. It is considered as such because of over a billion dollars sales in wires and cables. Its size and position in the fast-growing data communication makes it the largest and most influential.

Even though Home Depot gets the biggest share, the other large home centers played a significant factor in the electrical market place. Lowe's Co. is also a strong and still growing player. It has 446 stores and last year their sales were $10.1 billion. In the last 2 years, some of the largest home centers like Payless Cashways, Inc. and Builder's Square have run into financial trouble.
According to National Home Center News, the large players do most of the sales even though home center industry remains fragmented. Hence, electrical products are one of the central product groups for hardware stores. Most of the retail outlets of these hardware stores have at least one or two aisles of electrical supplies. Hardware stores do not target electrical contractors and professional contractors, but instead, they target trade people who pick up a few items that they forgot or that they need for week end jobs.
