The market size of the global business to business electronic is expected to grow to $36.07 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 2.4%. The surge in the inclination of companies towards electronic or e-commerce platforms to mark their online presence is expected to contribute to the growth of business-to-business electronics. Business-to-business electronic markets help companies reach a large consumer base, reduce costs, and improve efficiency by automating manual processes. B2B electronic markets increase opportunities for manufacturers to collaborate with suppliers and distributors. For instance, in October 2020, The Dentists Supply Co. and Henry Schein Inc., a USA-based dental products distributor, together relaunched TDSC.com as a healthcare supply source for members of all 50 state dental associations. Major players in the business-to-business electronic market are Amazon, Alibaba, Rakuten, Flipkart.com, IndiaMART, InterMESH Ltd., and eBay Inc. Increasing cyberattacks on business-to-business e-commerce websites are expected to hinder the business-to-business electronic market’s growth in the forecast period. Cyber-attacks harm the company's reputation along with financial loss. In November 2021, the cyber threats to the E-commerce sector increased by 37% in the third quarter as compared to the first quarter of the same year. The cyberattack decreases the trust of customers and sellers, and those who opt-out of their services and the businesses are also bound to pay a ransom in the form of money, e-currency, and data. This setback acts as a major restraint on the growth of the market. Manufacturers are establishing their own B2B marketplaces for selling their products online and fulfilling customer requirements for niche products, which is likely to be a key trend in business-to-business electronics. For instance, in February 2020, Reliance Steel launched a B2B marketplace called Fast Metals for the supply of metal products. In March 2020, YoKart, an Indian ecommerce marketplace builder launched YoKart B2B, a new B2B marketplace. In April 2022, BigCommerce, a US-based Open SaaS eCommerce company, acquired BundleB2B for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition would help BigCommerce to improve its offerings for B2B customers. BundleB2B is a Texas-based B2B ecommerce solution provider. Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the business-to-business electronic market in 2022.
