The North America Weekly Distributor Tracker will provide the industry’s most comprehensive view into technology distribution data and market trends in the United States and Canada. Using IDC’s industry standard taxonomies, the new Tracker will provide unit and value market size and vendor share for multiple hardware and software product categories that are going from distribution to resellers and other segments of the channel. Among the GTDC members that will be contributing sales data to the Tracker are Almo Corporation, Arrow Electronics, D&H Distributing, Ingram Micro Inc, SYNNEX Corporation, and Tech Data Corporation.

“We are excited to announce this partnership with GTDC. By combining IDC’s vast and detailed market data with GTDC’s definitive data for ‘sales through’, IDC will be able to provide an even more comprehensive view on movement and trends in the technology market, analyzing different routes to market from the tech supplier to the tech buyer. A closer pulse on the market and a view of sales moving through the channel will be of great value for our clients,” said Eric Prothero, senior vice president, Data Solutions at IDC.

“The GTDC and our member North America Distributors are very much looking forward to this partnership,” said Frank Vitagliano, CEO of GTDC. “IDC is clearly an industry leading provider of market intelligence and analysis for the IT industry. The combination of its current services with the sales data from the GTDC member company Distributors will provide actionable and essential information regarding the trends and directions in the marketplace that cannot be replicated.”

IDC will be launching the North America Weekly Distribution Tracker, powered by GTDC later this year. In conjunction with the new Tracker, IDC will be offering ongoing webinars that will highlight key trends from the data and commentary from IDC’s channel and technology analysts.
