B2B’s Are Bridging The Tech Gap

The B2B Industry Isn’t Hibernating. It’s In Metamorphosis.

IDC predicts digital transformation spending will approach the $2 trillion dollar mark by 2022, a 16.7% CAGR. Manufacturing and retail account for $7.3 billion (36.3%) of this figure, but there’s room for growth from eCommerce transformation during quarantine. Here’s why:

As a result, the pandemic is leading to even more substantial investments in digital infrastructure, with business leaders turning their attention to digital commerce endeavors.

According to McKinsey, “A stronger emphasis on eCommerce and digital channels is crucial, including consideration of the role of direct-to-consumer eCommerce channels. One European retailer built a functioning eCommerce platform in 13 weeks. This speed to market is one reason that digital has become such a crucial component of rapid revenue recovery for brands navigating an economic downturn.”​

From remote-teams to supply chain automation and even augmented reality, the value of digital enablement has never been more apparent. Many are using this “down time” to rewrite their playbooks and prep their business models to scale once quarantine is over.

In fact, only 12% of B2B companies are taking a “wait-and-see” approach to eCommerce as COVID-19 plays out. Here’s what the other 88% are doing today to ensure success down the line:
