Walmart suppliers cover pharmacy, household goods, and food
McKesson's presence puts pharmacy distribution beside Procter & Gamble's household and personal-care products and PepsiCo's food and beverages. The Walmart supplier list therefore combines businesses with different product handling and replenishment requirements, even before considering the rest of its 1,471 mapped upstream relationships.

Why the supplier list carries more information here
The contrast between 1,471 suppliers and 4 corporate customers makes the upstream list the useful starting point here. The customer count describes a small organizational sample, not Walmart's shopper base or a measure of retail demand.
Merchandise categories shape replenishment needs
Pharmacy distribution introduces healthcare-specific handling requirements. Household goods and packaged food follow other replenishment processes. These three suppliers give a category-based starting point for Walmart research, rather than a single model for every purchase.
