How do you obtain sales data from UK wholesalers, and which ones will share it?

Access to sales data from UK wholesalers varies significantly and often comes with a cost or restrictions.

**Wholesalers that will share data:** - **Speciality** — will provide sales information - **E&C** — will provide sales information

**Wholesalers that require payment or restrict access:** - **Matthew Clark** and **Bibendum** — have agreements with **IRi** (data provider) but access requires payment - **Nectar**, **Amathus**, and **Hills** — will not provide sales data at all

**Access restrictions:** Some wholesalers cite GDPR as the reason for withholding sales data. Payment is typically required to access data from major wholesalers via third-party data providers like IRi.

Members recommend checking directly with each wholesaler about their data-sharing policies and whether they require a commercial arrangement or data subscription.
