B2B SMEs buying and selling online in the U.S. 2019-2021, by sector

Published by Daniela Coppola, Mar 15, 2023
Between 2019 and 2021, more small and medium-sized companies have digitalized their B2B trade operations in the United States. In a survey among U.S. professionals working in business-to-business (B2B) enterprises, almost six in ten entertainment and retail trade firms purchased and sold their products and services online in December 2021. This represents an increase of over ten percentage points compared to two years earlier.
