In 2020, companies selling products and services for other businesses benefitted from e-commerce channels during the pandemic. Compared to before the emergency, a higher percentage of companies sold directly online, which often meant not involving sales representative. In Brazil, 56 percent of surveyed business-to-business firms sold online before COVID-19. During the pandemic, this percentage rose to 65 percent.
