Business-to-Business E-commerce Market Dynamics

Drivers: Strong Emphasis On Offering Flexible Payment Options

The continued digital transformation and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic have triggered a paradigm shift in businesses’ purchasing behavior. Businesses are increasingly demanding streamlined purchasing procedures involving cashless and contactless payment options. Hence, B2B ecommerce enterprises strongly emphasize offering flexible payment options, including third-party financing and mobile wallets. As B2B e-commerce enterprises continue to explore various alternatives to enhance purchasing experience, they are aggressively offering flexible payment options to overcome the challenges associated with conventional payment options. There are more than 40 payment methods on the market that B2B vendors can leverage, and B2B vendors are deliberating aggressively before choosing the appropriate ones. Given that B2B vendors emphasize security, payment options involving relatively lower fraud risks are preferred. As such, the strong emphasis on offering flexible payment options is expected to play a potent role in driving the growth of the business-to-business e-commerce market over the forecast period.

Favorable Regulations Encouraging Cross-Border Trade While Strengthening Consumer Protection

E-commerce sales show no signs of abating as several governments worldwide are relaxing restrictions on cross-border trade and drafting regulations to strengthen consumer protection. While some governments have relaxed the value limits on cross-border trade, others have reduced taxes or exempted goods traded across the border from tariffs. At the same time, governments have also drafted new or amended existing data security and privacy protection laws to strengthen consumer protection. Cross-border trade agreements facilitate firms to trade with partners in other nations. These agreements now include provisions to ensure efficient customs operations, lower duties and fees, and create a framework for dispute resolution. All such moves would help build consumers' trust on various B2B platforms, which would further play a vital role in driving the growth of the business-to-business e-commerce market over the forecast period. Regulations that recognize digital signatures and electronic contracts as legally binding can help businesses in settling transactions online without having to make any paper contracts or in-person signatures. This would particularly help in speeding up B2B e-commerce transactions while minimizing expenses. Regulations safeguarding the privacy and security of personal and business data, such as regulations encouraging organizations to acquire consent before collecting or utilizing personal data and security processes designed to counter data breaches, would play a decisive role in building trust in B2B e-commerce transactions. Favorable consumer protection and cross-border trade rules can also help build confidence in B2B e-commerce transactions, encourage trade between enterprises domiciled in different economies, and stimulate economic growth.

Restraints: Growing Concerns Over Data Security And Privacy Protection

B2B vendors often accumulate large volumes of critical data, including customer data, and hence must comply with the data security and privacy protection regulations to retain brand loyalty. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 triggered the need to work remotely and sell products and services online, thereby driving an increase in online activities and necessitating the deployment of B2B e-commerce systems. However, the haste toward digital transformation triggered security challenges across several industries and industry verticals, and B2B e-commerce was not an exception to that. Research suggests that less than 20% of B2B marketers are concerned about security risks. Several end customers remain concerned over the looming lack of appropriate protocols to deal with potential threats or combat security threats, which can potentially restrain the growth of the business-to-business e-commerce market over the forecast period. Instances of data breaches show no signs of abating. There have been several instances of hackers penetrating organizational networks, systems, and databases and gaining unauthorized access to critical data. Data breaches can leave businesses with financial losses, legal responsibilities, and a tarnished reputation. Nevertheless, given that online is the way ahead, B2B security priorities have evolved rapidly and may come as a respite to vendors and end customers.
