Distribution is a marketing instrument demonstrating a relative stability, nevertheless, subject to indispensable adjustment changes. Currently, we can observe decline of intensiveness of changes, particularly quantitative ones. There are still clearly capital and contractual integration under way. In the distribution channels, the role of integrated chains is rising. Wholesaling enterprises are subjected to strong processes of concentration (particularly capital one). A change of roles in the distribution channels takes place, mainly in the area of logistics, and in the tasks of sales services, the trade chains' own distribution centres are intensively developing, importance of businesses in the transport, forwarding and logistic branch is growing. The currently observed trends will be deepened, though one may not expect radical changes.
