Distribution & Delivery Payment Performance: A Near-Static Picture in 2025 Despite Fewer Companies

The distribution and delivery sector witnessed a negligible shift in payment practices between 2024 and 2025, with the average score dropping by a mere 0.2 points.

The Comparison

• 2024: A dataset of 266 companies yielded an average payment performance score of 60.9 out of 100.
• 2025: Analyzing 219 companies revealed an average payment performance score of 60.7 out of 100.

What This Means

While the reduced sample size in 2025 may indicate some market consolidation or exit, the almost identical average scores suggest that payment behaviors within the surviving distribution and delivery firms remained essentially unchanged. This stability, however, does not necessarily signify good news; the persistently moderate score highlights that improvement is still needed - and businesses struggling to recover late payments can access resources like this late payment calculator.

In 2025, a score of 60.7 out of 100 shows payment practices are basically the same as in 2024, when 266 firms achieved an average of 60.9.
