The business-to-business electronic market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $32.76 billion in 2023 to $33.58 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the influence of mobile technology, widespread proliferation of the internet, the emergence of early e-commerce platforms, adoption of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), integration of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, and the impact of globalization on business-to-business electronic services.
The business-to-business electronic market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $37.1 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the adoption of cloud-based solutions, a heightened focus on personalization, the development of the API (Application Programming Interface) economy, the expansion of e-procurement, and enhanced cybersecurity measures in business-to-business electronic services. Major trends expected in the forecast period encompass the utilization of data analytics and insights, personalization of services, the integration of blockchain for security, applications of the Internet of Things (IoT), and an increased focus on user experience (UX).
The increasing trend among companies to establish their online presence through electronic or e-commerce platforms is anticipated to contribute significantly to the growth of business-to-business electronics. These electronic markets facilitate widespread consumer reach, cost reduction, and improved efficiency by automating manual processes. The surge in global online sales, as reported by Forbes Advisor in February 2023, with projections indicating further growth to $8.14 trillion by 2026, exemplifies the ongoing contribution of e-commerce platforms to the expansion of the business-to-business electronic market.
Global population growth is expected to be a driving force behind the continued expansion of the business-to-business electronic market. Factors such as birth rates, reduced infant mortality, migration, and societal and economic influences contribute to the growing global population. This demographic expansion leads to increased demand for products and services through B2B platforms, fostering market growth, scalability, and enhanced global connectivity. United Nations estimates in November 2022 indicated a global population exceeding 8 billion, with projections suggesting an increase to nearly 10 billion by around 2050. Thus, the growing population is anticipated to be a significant contributor to the sustained growth of the business-to-business electronic market.
The growth of the business-to-business electronic market may face hindrances due to the increasing frequency of cyberattacks on e-commerce websites. Cyber threats to the E-commerce sector surged by 37% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of the same year, causing reputational damage and financial losses. Such cyberattacks diminish customer and seller trust, leading to service opt-outs and businesses being compelled to pay ransoms in various forms. This cybersecurity challenge poses a substantial restraint on the market's growth.
A notable trend in business-to-business electronics involves manufacturers establishing their B2B marketplaces to cater to niche products and fulfill customer requirements. For instance, Reliance Steel launched the B2B marketplace Fast Metals in February 2020 for the supply of metal products. This trend is indicative of manufacturers directly engaging in B2B platforms to expand their market presence.
Major companies in the business-to-business electronic market are incorporating innovative technologies, such as virtual stores, into their e-commerce platforms. The introduction of virtual store technology by J.Crew in June 2023 exemplifies this trend, providing customers with an immersive shopping experience reminiscent of physically entering a retail store. These virtual stores aim to establish connections with diverse demographics, enhance customer engagement, boost sales, and create lasting digital interactions.
In April 2022, BigCommerce, an Open SaaS eCommerce company, acquired BundleB2B, a B2B ecommerce solution provider based in Texas, for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is expected to enhance BigCommerce's offerings for B2B customers, emphasizing the significance of B2B ecommerce solutions in the evolving market landscape.
