The Retail market is changing by shrinking the marketplace, good to know that OPTODISC still supports the channel.
- It’s not difficult to see that the landscape for the retail marketplace is completely different than even just 5 to 10 years ago. At one time, there were strong distribution centers and retail stores and sites that gave the consumer choices and allowed for a healthy channel for manufacturers, distributors, and resellers to all coexist. Now, it feels as though those channels are contracting and many larger manufacturers are bypassing the middlemen and going direct to the consumers. Platforms like Amazon make it easy to sell direct, which has increasingly shrunk the marketplace. Long time staples in the retail market, like Toys R Us, Blockbuster, Radio Shack, and many many others have all gone the way of the Dodo bird, with unrest of similar major retails like Sears to follow. The market is trending toward new ways of consuming products and the lines between manufacturers and their dealer channels are becoming blurred, often competing directly against those they claim to support.
