Purpose
The top 10 states for part purchases and sales, allows you to compare where inventory is coming from versus where it is being sold. They provide geographic insight into supply chain and market reach.
Key Metrics
-
Purchased Parts by State – Top states where parts are being sourced.
-
Sold Parts by State – Top states where parts are being sold.
-
Volume Comparison – How sourcing regions overlap or differ from sales markets.
Insights to Look For
-
Supply vs. demand regions: If a state is high in purchases but low in sales, it indicates a sourcing hub rather than a key market.
-
Market concentration: Sales concentrated in just a few states may point to reliance on specific markets and potential exposure if demand shifts.
-
Expansion opportunities: If purchased parts are concentrated in one region but sales are not penetrating those same states, there may be opportunities to expand sales where sourcing is strong.
-
Logistics implications: Wide geographic gaps between purchase hubs and sales markets may increase shipping and handling times.
