Direct Selling Evolving, Not Declining

Direct Selling Isn’t Declining—It’s Evolving in 2025

More than halfway through 2025, DSN’s mid-year quick poll reveals that direct selling isn’t slowing—it’s leveling up. We reached out to 100 North American companies with a minimum $50 million annual revenue run rate and received 80 anonymous responses, offering a clear snapshot of the sector’s underlying performance.

Growth Statistics Speak Volumes

  • 50% of surveyed firms reported year-over-year revenue growth.

  • 22.5% achieved gains north of 20%.

  • 12.5% saw flat results (±2%), while 37.5% experienced contraction.

These numbers not only outpace January’s annual comparison but also underscore that even companies below the $50 million threshold are recording similar momentum.

Services Take Center Stage

The U.S. consumer economy now dedicates roughly 70% of spending to services—and direct selling reflects this shift. Over 60% of U.S. direct selling revenue (>$30 billion annually) is service-based, predominantly in highly regulated fields like insurance, real estate and financial services, signaling vast untapped potential.

Evolution Is Essential

Tomorrow’s winners aren’t clinging to legacy recruitment tactics. The highest-growing companies prioritize:

  1. Customer-centric business models

  2. Smart digital tools for their field force

  3. Continuous product and service innovation

As consumer preferences migrate toward services and digital engagement, success in the remainder of 2025 and beyond will belong to those ready to build what’s next. The past, as they say, is in the past.
