Key Forecast Highlights
• Global B2C E-Commerce growth is increasingly shaped by price-driven consumer demand, social commerce engagement, and expanding cross-border platform participation, reflecting a shift toward transaction-led digital retail expansion.
• Global non-cash transaction volumes are forecast to approach 2.8 trillion by 2028, driven by digital wallets, instant payments, and expanding payment automation across consumer and B2B environments.
• Artificial intelligence adoption continues to scale globally, with 77% of employees reporting some level of AI integration by 2025, while governance gaps and workforce readiness challenges remain key barriers to full enterprise impact.
• B2B marketplaces and digital payment innovation are accelerating business transformation, enabling SMEs, vertical platforms, and automated financial workflows to expand global trade participation.
“What we are observing is the convergence of consumer demand, enterprise digitization, and intelligent payment infrastructure into a unified global commerce ecosystem,” says Yücel Yelken, Founder and CEO of yStats.com. “As platforms integrate AI, automation, and flexible payment solutions, both consumer and business transactions are becoming faster, more data-driven, and increasingly interconnected.”
Global B2C E-Commerce Growth Is Driven by Consumer Demand, Social Commerce, and Platform Engagement
Global B2C E-Commerce expansion continues to be shaped by price sensitivity, product variety, and growing social commerce participation. Consumers increasingly engage with digital marketplaces and online platforms to access broader assortments and competitive pricing, while categories such as clothing, footwear, and consumer electronics remain key drivers of online purchasing activity. Social platforms are becoming central discovery and conversion channels, reinforcing the importance of integrated digital experiences across retail ecosystems. Cross-border shopping reflects these broader B2C dynamics, highlighting how global demand is influenced by pricing advantages, platform accessibility, and expanding international seller networks. At the same time, concerns around fraud, delivery costs, and checkout friction remain structural challenges that shape consumer decision-making and platform strategies.
Digital Payments and Instant Infrastructure Accelerate the Shift Toward Non-Cash Transactions
The global payments landscape is evolving rapidly as non-cash transaction volumes expand across consumer and business environments. Instant payments, digital wallets, and automated payment workflows are reducing reliance on legacy systems such as checks and traditional bank transfers, while emerging markets continue to scale mobile-first financial infrastructures. Changing consumer preferences and rising digital wallet adoption are reshaping payment ecosystems globally. Innovation is increasingly focused on improving speed, convenience, and engagement, positioning payment infrastructure as a core driver of digital commerce growth.
AI Adoption Expands Across Commerce and Marketing, Yet Training and Governance Gaps Persist
Artificial intelligence is becoming embedded across global business functions, E-Commerce platforms, and marketing workflows, driven by demand for personalization, automation, and enhanced digital experiences. Organizations are integrating AI into strategy, customer engagement, and operational decision-making, reflecting its growing role in shaping competitive advantage. Despite rapid adoption, readiness remains uneven. Training gaps, governance concerns, and limited workforce education continue to constrain long-term impact, highlighting the importance of aligning technology deployment with skills development and responsible implementation frameworks.
B2B Marketplaces and Virtual Payment Innovation Enable SME Growth and Enterprise Transformation
B2B marketplaces are reshaping global procurement by centralizing buyer-seller interactions, improving pricing transparency, and enabling SMEs to access international markets more efficiently. Vertical platforms are gaining traction as businesses pursue niche specialization, while digital payment innovation, including virtual cards, automation tools, and AI-driven workflows, is transforming B2B financial operations. Customer-centric payment strategies, automation, and analytics are helping businesses reduce costs, improve compliance, and enhance financial visibility, positioning digital marketplaces and intelligent payment systems as core drivers of enterprise transformation.
