Electrical Distribution Industry Benchmark Report Data: Dataset Structure and Field Coverage
Datadory delivers electrical distribution industry benchmark report data covering comprehensive field definitions, entity mappings, and historical time series — structured for direct analytics and delivered on demand.
1,744 datasets. Pick your catch.
Which datasets supply the benchmarks?
Five sources do most of the work in a defensible report:
Two discovery layers sit behind those five when a report needs niche national sources: data.gov indexes about 552,271 datasets across US federal, state and county publishers, and data.europa.eu returns 1,274 matches for the query 'wholesale' through its documented search API.
Which numbers can you legally republish?
The practical rule for client deliverables: official figures can ship with the deck, NAED figures inform the analysis but stay paraphrased unless cleared.
Where does the electrical-specific signal come from if NAED data stays gated?
From proxies built on the free series. Eurostat's sts_trtu_m cube carries turnover and volume-of-sales detail at NACE division level across wholesale trade, so a country-by-country read substitutes for a missing channel survey when the report needs direction rather than exact electrical-channel shares. ISM's monthly Manufacturing PMI (first business day) and Services PMI (third business day, 10:00 ET) publish sub-indexes on orders, production, inventories and supplier deliveries that time the demand swings distributors feel first; current-month pages expose roughly the trailing 12 months of index values, while long-run history back to 1931/1948 is sold or member-gated.

What is the NAED PAR Report?
The annual benchmark study from the National Association of Electrical Distributors covering the US and Canada electrical distribution channel, aggregated by distributor size band and end-market sector. Most editions are member-only or sold in the NAED Shop, and redistributing contents requires NAED permission.
How far back does electrical distribution benchmark data go?
Official wholesale series reach furthest: BEA industry accounts run annually from 1947, Eurostat's short-term statistics start January 1991, and Statistics Canada Table 20-10-0074-01 begins January 1993. NAED's own research archive extends back to pre-2016 editions.
