Abstract
The medical supplies and distribution market in the United States increased 5.4 percent in 2022. On its face, that percentage value may seem minuscule, but the figure’s significance skyrockets considering the market exceeds $300 billion. The government also supplies significant funding to the healthcare industry with Medicaid and Medicare contributing more than $1 trillion every year. Medical supplies distributors are an essential element of the behemoth that is the American healthcare market, and this industry bridges the gap between manufacturers and healthcare providers. Because these distributors play such a key role in the multi-billion-dollar market, these commercial organizations must comply with the federal government’s standards to receive funds.
