HARDI Reports 60.6 Percent Revenue Increase in April
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI) released its monthly TRENDS report, showing the average sales performance by HARDI distributors was an increase of 60.6 percent during April 2021. The average annual sales growth for the 12 months through April 2021 is 13.7 percent.
“The 60 percent gain reflects stimulus driven demand being compared against a 19 percent sales decline after the April 2020 COVID interruptions,” said HARDI Market Research & Benchmarking Analyst Brian Loftus. “The sales growth is nearly 30 percent versus April 2019 and about 21 percent if adjusted for inflation. Those are still exceptional levels of activity, but they are easier to digest than the distorted month-tomonth growth.”
